Method vs. Methodology: Method is the tool. Methodology is the justification/the rationale for using a particular method. A learning outcome of CSC 340 Programming Methodology is we can recognize a problem, diagnose a problem, define a problem, and formulate a problem. While solving a problem, we frequently take a step back and evaluate available methods. Assignment 02 is to provide us with another opportunity to practice these skills.

The final project involves a multi-player capture-the-flag variant of Pacman, where agents control both Pacman and ghosts in coordinated team-based strategies.

In this lab you will implement user processes and system calls. As supplied, Pintos is incapable of running user processes and only implements two systems calls. Pintos does, however, have the ability to load ELF binary executable, and has a fully functioning page-based, non-virtual memory management system. There are three parts to this lab; each depends on the previous one.

Logic instructions are needed in many embedded applications. Logic instructions are useful for manipulation of bit strings and for dealing with data at the bit level where only a few bits may be of special interest. They are essential in dealing with input/output tasks. In this exercise we will consider some typical uses. We will use the ARM* processor in the DE1-SoC Computer.

Overview: Last assignment, we simulated fuzzy phenomena using dense systems of loosely interacting particles that followed some procedural set of rules for how they evolved over time. The goal of this assignment is to simulate various systems that follow well-defined physical laws. In the process, you should gain familiarity with different techniques commonly used to animate complex physical phenomena, such as differential equations, numerical integration, and spatial data-structures.

Part 1: Written Problems 1. If we take the linear congruential algorithm with an additive component of 0, Xn+1 = (aXn) mod m Then it can be shown that if m is prime and if a given value of a produces the maximum period of m-1, then ak will also produce the maximum period, provided that k is less than m and that k and m-1 are relatively prime.

1 Theory (50pt) To answer questions in this part, you need some basic knowledge of linear algebra and matrix calculus. Also, you need to follow the instructions: Every vector is treated as column vector. You need to use the numerator-layout notation for matrix calculus. Please refer to Wikipedia about the notation. You are only allowed to use vector and matrix. You cannot use tensor in any of your answer.

Up to this point, all the programs you have written had a sequence structure. This means that all statements are executed in sequence, one after another. Sometimes we need to let the computer make decisions, based on the data. A decision structure allows the computer to decide which statement to execute. In order to have the computer make a decision, it needs to do a comparison.

In this assignment, you will implement distributed distance vector routing (DVR) algorithm. The idea is that you are provided with a sample network (nodes, their connectivity and link weights), and your job is to find the shortest paths from each node to all other nodes using DVR algorithm that we studied in class. Your implementation of DVR should have three important features:
