15-418/15-618: Parallel Computer Architecture and Programming, Fall 2019: Assignments

The assignments are the heart of this course. Much of what you learn in this course will be through completing these assignments.

All assignments are due 11:59pm on the due date shown.
The late penalty is 10% per day.
Each student has 5 late-day points for use during the semester. Use them wisely.
A one-person team can extend a programming assignment by one day using one point.
A two-person team can extend a programming assignment by one day using two point (either one from each student, or two from a single student).
You can submit assignments at most 3 days late.
All assignments are handed out via GitHub and turned in using Autolab and Gradescope.
