15-213/14-513/15-513 Introduction to Computer Systems (ICS): Exam
- There will be an online final exam. (There is no longer a midterm exam.)
- The final exam is closed book, closed notes.
- However, you may bring two (2) double-sided 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of notes to the final.
- You may also bring blank scratch paper, but you are not permitted
to use a calculator or any other electronic aid.
- There will be questions similar to previous exams, questions that
will test your understanding of the lab material, and new types of
questions.
- Note: These practice exams use the IA32 architecture. All present and future exams will solely use the x86-64 architecture. A detailed comparison between the two architectures can be found on the CSAPP website under the ASM:IA32 heading.

6-12 in your textbook. You can expect questions on topics such as,
but not limited to, floating point, assembly, stacks, caches, VM
address translation, process control, Unix I/O, concurrency, and
