Important Project-Related Documents
- About your 15-410 AFS Space
- Here we explain the care and feeding of your 15-410 AFS volume. In the event of trouble, please (re-)read this for advice.
-
Macintosh Lab Instructions
- If all the Linux machines in the cluster are in use, you might find a Mac cluster machine useful.
- Intel x86 documentation
- These three Intel reference guides are extremely
comprehensive and
actually very well written. Do take the time to look over them, they will
be useful in doing each of your projects. These documents are hundreds of
pages - do NOT attempt to print them out (at least, not on a campus
printer).
- Intel architecture guide. Explains the basic organization of the processor and fundamental concepts like the execution environment, procedure calls and interrupts, and I/O.
- Intel instruction set reference. A long volume documenting each x86 instruction.
- Intel system programming guide. Probably the most interesting of the three documents. Explains privilege levels, segmentation and paging, how to handle interrupts and exceptions, and a host of other things.
- Doxygen Documentation System
- GNU make
- We will not require you to build and debug complex makefiles for 15-410, but you are expected to understand the basic concepts and to be able to read a makefile, understand what's going on, and pick out appropriate targets to invoke partial builds. The official documentation for gmake, the flavor of make available on Andrew Linux machines, is available from the Free Software Foundation website.
