  • xv6 template code
  • Implement setnice & getnice system call in xv6
  • Implement minitop shell command in xv6
  • Submit tarball file to TA by e-mail with title "[SSE3044]StudentID-1-1"
  • You have to set initial nice value of process to 20
  • Project #1-1 result

Project #1-2 (Deadline: 3/27~4/10(Tue.), Last update: 4/5(Thu.), 18:00PM)

  • Implement priority based scheduler on xv6

  • You should prepare 5~10 minute presentation about your implementation
  • Schedule of oral test will be announced
  • Update list 
      - Increase each process's yield count at only yield system call
      - There is no scenario such as target nice value of setnice is same as original nice value 
      - Sample testcase
  • Correct output for test_2_1.c 
      [Case 2. Setnice, Yield] Start
         -...state 1...
         -...state 2...
         -...state 3...
         -...state 4...
         -...state 5...
         -...state 6...
         -...state 7...
         -...state 8...
         -...state 9...
         -...state 10...
         -...state 11...

Project #2-1 (Deadline: 4/11~5/1(Tue.), Last update: 4/11(Wed.), 16:00PM)

  • Implement stack growth on xv6
  • Oral test progress after project #2-1 (prepare for 10 minutes of presentation)
  • Schedule of oral test will be announced
  • Project #2-1 testcase
  • ATTENTION!!! If page fault is occurred, you must print out "(Pagefault): invalid access!" or "(Pagefault): allocate new page!"
  • Then, correct results for each test case is 
      case 1. (Pagefault): invalid access!
      case 2. (Pagefault): allocate new page!
               PASSED!
      case 3. (Pagefault): allocate new page!
              (Pagefault): allocate new page!
              (Pagefault): allocate new page!
              PASSED!
      case 4. (Pagefault): allocate new page!
              (Pagefault): allocate new page!
              (Pagefault): allocate new page!
              (Pagefault): invalid access!
