Projects
•Course project:
–Goal: be exposed to a (systematic) research experience,
•turn an idea into a research plan,
•give talk, write a paper.
–What you’ll do:
•propose and test an original idea, or verify a published result.
•Tailored to your interests and skills:
–compilers, architectures, OS
–prior knowledge of tools: a compiler, simulator, etc
•Work in pairs
–larger projects: 3 students
–Ideal team: compiler “expert” + arch/OS “expert”
(this course tries to foster crosspollination!)
•Grading
–Ideas + implementation + paper; results + effort
–negative result is a good result: OK to take risks,
–think big!
