- The format should be similar to the ACM Tech News format.
- The header should contain a title, your name, the class (CSC352) and the date
- Each paragraph should have a header with a title, the source of news, the date, and possibly a link to the full article.
- The paragraph describing a news item should be between 3 to 10 lines, give or take.
- Write 1 full page to 2 pages, depending on the richness of events in the technology field
- Feel free to present N-1 topics with just 3 lines, and 1 topic which you highlight with a longer paragraph.
- Topics: anything related to parallelism: computers, mobile platforms, cloud, companies, new software, new algorithms, conferences, people in the field, etc.
- Good sources of information to get started:
- Recommendation for news aggregator: Feedly.com
- Interrupts (continued)
- Context Switch
- Stack and Stack Frame
- Global and Local Variables
- What is a process?
