What this course is about • Advanced programming in the Unix environment – – Concurrent programming: with processes and threads Parallel programming: with threads and Open. MP Network programming: sockets Advanced UNIX systems level programming: • File systems, advanced I/O • Signals • Inter-process communication and synchronization – Write portable code • After taking this class, you should be able to – – Use standard UNIX operating system APIs Write concurrent and distributed programs to solve problems Develop network applications Develop portable programs COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Books • Textbook: – W. Richard Stevens, UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1: Networking APIs Sockets and XTI, 2 nd edition • Reference books: – W. Richard Stevens, Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment – Kernighan & Ritchie, The C Programming Language COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Pre-requisites • Operating systems - COP 4610 or equivalent • Basic course on networks (highly desirable) – CNT 5505 or equivalent. • Proficiency in C or C++ - absolute must!! • Working knowledge of Unix environment COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Grading • Programming assignments • Group term project • Midterm • Final - 40% - 15% - 20% - 25% • Target letter grade distribution: • half A’s, half B’s. COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Programming assignments • Individual projects • 4 projects (at least 2 of them fairly large, > 1000 lines) • Late submission – 10% penalty per day for up to two days. • Start early! – Expect the servers to go down at any time. Do not expect the project deadline to be postponed if the servers are out of service for less than 1 day during the project period. – Ask questions early! COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Grading Programming Assignments • Grading is based not only on the software functionality/quality, but also on – Your understanding of your own code. – Your preparation to demo the features of your program. • A program that is “kind of” working is not good enough. • Make sure your code is completely ready BEFORE the due time (usually the demo time). No modification is allowed after demo starts. • First unknown bug of any kind (major or minor) will cost 20% of the project + the grade for the feature. • The first known bug or unimplemented feature will cost extra 10% of the project. COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Group Term Project • Up to 3 students / per group • Potential topics will be given at around the midterm time. • Requirement: – Development component: substantial programming with techniques covered in COP 5570. – Research component: something new, something useful. • Bi-weekly progress reports after the midterm, presentation and demonstration at the end of the semester. COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Grading group term project • Based on – Software developed – Presentation and demonstration – Progress reports and final report • Main criteria – Software quality, creativity, usefulness – Relevance to the course – Clearness in presentation and demonstration COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Accounts • Computer Science account (<yourid>@cs. fsu. edu) – For doing projects – http: //www. cs. fsu. edu/sysinfo/newstudent. html • FSU account (<yourid>@fsu. edu) – – For receiving class announcements For submitting assignments For getting your grades https: //www. ucs. fsu. edu/get. Started. html • Access to blackboard – For class materials, discussion board, grades etc. – Through your FSU account – http: //campus. fsu. edu COP 5570 – Advanced Unix Programming Florida State University

• Academic Integrity – Write your own code from scratch!!! – No copying from anywhere including old submissions and code from the Internet. – Don’t ask anyone for solutions and don’t give or lose your code to anyone. – Automated (software) plagiarism detection tools will be used in this course. • Penalty – Step 1 agreement: 0 for the particular assignment/exam and the lowering of one letter (A->B) for course final grade. – Second violation: handled by the University honor court. – I will not hear any explanation, copying/being copied, lost/stolen code, etc. These are for the honor court judges, not a professor. COP 5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming Florida State University

Course policies • Late projects – Please work on homework assignments/projects early and hand in on time – 10% penalty per day for up to 2 days • No make-up exam – unless proof of emergency (things beyond your control) • Incomplete grade – Only if one item is missed in the course with an accepted excuse. • Please read detailed course policies in the syllabus on the course website. COP 5570 – Advanced Unix Programming Florida State University

• Accommodation for Disabilities 1. Register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC). 2. Bring a letter to me from the SDRC `indicating you need academic accommodation. This should be done within the first week of class COP 5570 – Advanced Unix Programming Florida State University

Review • What will we do in this class? • What are the grading items for the course? • How is the project grading in this class different from that in other classes? • If I am told that I have violated the academic honor code, can I argue for myself if I did not give the code to anyone? • What is the penalty for violating the honor code? • Under what condition can one get an ‘I’ grade?
