CS 342302 OPERATING SYSTEMS

• Project 2
• Matrix Multiplication Project

2
MOTIVATION

• Multithread can save lots of time when you need
  to compute amount of works.
• Try to learn and implement it

3
OBJECTIVE

• Be familiar with the Multithreaded Programming.

4
HOW TO DO THE PROJECT

• Find the project 4.2 in the textbook of 8th
  edition which is in the chapter 4.
• If your textbook is not 8th edition, you can also
  find the project in chapter 4 which is named
  Matrix Multiplication Project and thats it.

5
HOW TO DO THE PROJECT(CONT.)

• You can choose to follow the project in the
  textbook step by step or you can program by
  yourself, but in the report you have to write
  clearly how you do it.
• In the textbook, there are Pthread, win32, and
  java example. We suggest you use Pthread or
  java to do this project.
• P.S. If you use Pthread, you have to compile
  and execute it in linux system. You can upload
  it to CS workstation to do this project.

6
BASIC REQUIREMENT

• The program should read data from file, so the
  program should have way to input file name.
• You can also write some sample to test your
  program.
• Compute the performance. (basically time)

7
SUBMISSION GRADING POLICY

• Code correctness 35
• Readability 5
• Report 60
• Bonus 10

8
REPORT REQUIREMENT

• Basically
• How to execute you program
• (write this part clearly or you cant get the
  score)
• How you do this project
• Compare matrix multiplication with multithread
  and without it what difference is between them
• What have you learned from this project
• Bonus part if you have

9
BONUS

• In chapter 3, we have learn multi-process. Try to
  implement the project using multi-process and
  compare the performance with multithread in the
  report.

• The way to hand in your project
• Upload it to the FTP which need program, report,
