CMSC421 Principles of Operating Systems

Homework Assignments

This page will be updated during the semester.

• General Guidelines:
  • For general requirements about assignments refer to the course syllabus.
  • All homework assignments are due electronically.
  • A homework assignment may have a written part and a programming part.
  • The written part of an assignment must be a PDF file. See Creating PDF files in Unix and Windows Environments for some options to that.
  • When submitting the programming part of a homework assignment, you should submit a single compressed archive file with:
    • all your source code, documented appropriately, and Makefiles if needed.
    • a README file.
    • sample output, if required.
    Use the gzip and tar commands in Linux to create such a compressed archive.
  • Each written answer and source code file must contain at a minimum: your full name, your UMBC GL username, your CMSC421 section, and the assignment's keycode.
  • More information on submitting assignments electronically is available here.
