Exam Information

The midterm and final exams are mandatory. See the course calendar for days and times.

This page contains old exams that may be useful in preparing for this quarter's exams. Some of the old exams contain questions on topics that we did not cover this quarter; you should skip over such questions. In particular, exams from Spring 2015 and earlier may cover IA-32, but the course now focuses only on IA-64. These exams are provided only as an aid to your studying and should not be taken as a guarantee of format, type of questions, etc. on our exams.

We also post our exams here, of course after they are taken and graded.

Midterm Exams

Exam information:

Here is a list of questions where the question or the answer or both assume Intel's 32-bit architecture but we studied Intel's 64-bit architecture. You can imagine similar questions/answers for 64-bit, but the question and/or answer in these exams will not make total sense and would not be correct for us. Corrections and omissions to this list are welcome if you find any.

Final Exams

See this important information on the final-exam, as presented in class, including what topics will be covered, that you can bring your own sheet of paper, etc.

This reference sheet will be provided to you at the back of the exam. We will ask you to remove that page and not turn it in.

As with the midterm, exams from Spring 2015, assume IA-32 and so some questions and/or answers may not make sense. This includes Win 2015 #1, Spr 2012 #5, and Aut 2010 #4. Also, many of these exams were cumulative, asking questions that could have been asked on the midterm, but that is not our focus.
