6UoC from 2003   (Posted by Gernot, Tue 24 Dec)
The next offering of Advanced Operating Systems, S2 2003, will have a weight of 6UoC rather than the 12UoC it had in the past. This should help to overcome problems fitting it into the packed CE/SE time table. The project component will be overhauled as appropriate.
 
Sample Exam, Mark Breakdown and Survey   (Posted by Gernot, Tue 17 Dec)
I have put up a sample solution for the exam.
you should now be able to examine the breakdown of your marks. Comments on your projects will be mailed to you shortly.

MIPS R4x00 Instruction Summary   (Posted by Gernot, Tue 10 Sep)
