Computer Science 430 Assignment 06 Winter 2008–09

Keep up with the indicated pace of reading in each chapter for class.

Submit your solutions to the following problems, which are specific exercises from the end of chapter 5 of the book by Patterson and Hennessy, by 1:00 PM, Saturday, 21 February 2009. You may hand in your work at Science Hall 131, if it is open, or at the faculty mailboxes in Briggs.

1. Exercise 5.38 (on the CD) [5.46 in original 3rd ed]
2. Exercise 5.42 (on the CD) [5.50 in original 3rd ed]
3. Exercise 5.43 (on the CD) [5.51 in original 3rd ed]
4. Exercise 5.47 (on the CD) [5.56 in original 3rd ed]

For work of this sort, some indication of method (not just final result) is appropriate.

You may find these somewhat harder and longer than most previous exercises. Ask for hints if you feel the need to do so.

If you want to consider doing an individual project, you should identify a topic as quickly as possible. What resources are available to you (computer system, printed sources, Web sources)? What role would you propose for the project in your overall course work for the term?

Note that the final deadline for all written work in this course will be 1:00 PM, Saturday, 14 March 2009.
