Computer Science Lab
The Computer Science Lab (CSL) provides official computing for this class.
-
Getting Started with information and links on
activating a CS account,
machines,
Unix classes (usually first or second week of classes),
and CSL policies.
- Complete
Computer Systems Lab Documentation (including FAQ).
- Programming assignments will be done on cabernet.cs.wisc.edu, 16-processor Sun E6000.
If you wish to learn more about cabernet,
run /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v on cabernet.
Cabernet is symmetric multiprocessor, not a chip multiprocessor.
Each each processor has its own L1 and L2 cache (and the L2 cache
is called an E-cache).
The processors are UltraSparc IIs
(online manual).
For example, Section 7.6 of the manual presents coherence details.
Software
-
Most software is pointed at by the appropriate homework assignment.
- The Condor batch system may be valuable for submitting jobs
for the project.
The Condor Manual
explain Condor, in general (e.g., Section 2.5 on submitting a job),
while
Condor's Wisconsin Page explain specifics about our Condor pools.
