ECS 223 - Spring 2011 Parallel Algorithms

Announcements

• Grades are submitted. PS3 median was 95, Final was 85. If you didn't get your HW score emailed I have it as hardcopy and can pick up at some point if you like
• PS3 solutions now on Smartsite under Resources
• Midterm II: Thursday, June 2
• OH updates: none Friday 5/27/11, next week: T 12:10-1:15, W 10:20-11:20
• Ps3 out,correction: the memory was supposed to be 2^13 blocks, each of size 2^7 in a memory bank. If you solved the problem as written, that is fine, but intended this to be the version (and matches current values better).
• Ps3 out, Due May 26. get it here: Problem Set 3 5/1/2011
