CSE P 501 Project Report & Meeting

Project Code

In fairness to everyone, all projects are due by the cutoff given in the final part of the assignment. Your report should describe the project that you turned in by the deadline. However, there is always the "last" bug. If you want to make some additional changes to the code and discuss them in your report and at the meeting, we may be able to take small bug fixes into account in evaluating the project - even if these fixes have major effects. But large changes to the project after the deadline, while they may be very useful for your learning, cannot fairly be evaluated as if they were turned by the deadline, and the evaluation will be based on the code you turn in on time.

Report

Please write a brief (a couple of pages should be more than enough) summary of your project describing:

• What language features work (arithmetic expressions, if/while, object creation, dynamic dispatch, arrays, etc.).
• What language features weren't implemented, don't work, or don't quite work.
• A summary of the test programs you've tried and the results.
• Any extra features or language extensions supported by your compiler: additional Java language constructs not part of basic MiniJava; extra error or semantics checking; comments, source code, and other goodies in the assembly language code; clever code generation or register allocation; optimizations; etc.
• How work was divided among team members. If you split up the work, who was responsible for what, or if you worked together on everything, a description of how that went.
• Brief conclusions: what was good, what could have been better, what you would have done differently or would have liked to have changed about the project.

Your report should discuss the entire project, not just the code generation part, so we can use it to help evaluate the overall outcome. You should turn in your report using the online dropbox by 11 pm, Tuesday, June 10. Each group should turn in a single report. Please use pdf or plaintext.

Department of Pedantry Department: Please write the following at the top of the first page of your report:

Please expand the nonterminals <names>, <uwnetids>, etc. with your actual names, uw netids, and meeting information as appropriate. Don't include a separate cover page.

Meeting

We have no mandatory meetings this quarter. However, if you would like to talk about your project or any other aspect of the course, the course staff will be available to meet at the end of the quarter. This would be particularly useful if you have implemented extensions and wish to demo them.

We will be available to meet in the evening of June 11 (Jim at Microsoft, Nat at UW). Please email us to schedule a slot.
