::* <font color="red">Newsletter due</font>.  This week, add a sentence to each summary that explains why you picked this news item.  Why does the news you reported matters?  How is it important to you?  Does it connect in any way to something you have read or programmed?  Also, this week, add an a section to your newsletter that refers to Amdahl's law.  The purpose of this is to have you create an equation with Latex.  So, you can simply explain what Amdahl's law is, or you can find a bit of news in the past year that mentions Amdahl's Law, and take this opportunity to create an equation: Speedup = T(1)/T(N).

  • Newsletter due. This week, add a sentence to each summary that explains why you picked this news item. Why does the news you reported matters? How is it important to you? Does it connect in any way to something you have read or programmed? Also, this week, add an a section to your newsletter that refers to Amdahl's law. The purpose of this is to have you create an equation with Latex. So, you can simply explain what Amdahl's law is, or you can find a bit of news in the past year that mentions Amdahl's Law, and take this opportunity to create an equation: Speedup = T(1)/T(N).
  • Prepare a 1-page description of the project you will present at the end of the semester. Submit it before March 21, 1:00 p.m. to Moodle. See this page for information.
