CSE 451, Introduction to Operating Systems, Spring 2012

Projects

Projects should be discussed on the appropriate thread of the class discussion board.

Grades for projects and exams will be posted in a Catalyst GradeBook here.

  • A note on the Linux projects: There will inevitably be some ambiguities or errors in the project descriptions. We apologize for these. We try hard to eliminate them before distributing the projects. However the Linux kernel changes somewhat rapidly, and there are bound to be some cases where we fail to update the project descriptions to exactly match the code. (Believe us - the projects are in much better shape than the last time we ran this course!) We don't want anybody to waste time dealing with these problems, so two reminders: First, if you encounter something that's confusing or possibly erroneous, please don't suffer in silence, but post to the discussion board and/or send us e-mail so that we can clarify things. Second, please check the discussion board regularly, so that you can learn about these problems when other students encounter them and avoid puzzling over them on your own.
