======Part 3====== =====Entries===== ====Entry 9: April 5, 2012==== * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date? * the notice i would need to use stacks to build and utilize routines and subroutines to process data and i am hitting a wall due to the fact that when i was in data structures i couldnt not figuer out how to get a stack to work * Why was this significant? * this is significant becuase i cant seem to make a effective cpu to read run and exicute data via cpu emulator * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense? * how to create a stack with stored hex values that refernce via file pointer to run gates and registers * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course? * Opus is a huge obsticale for me and conceptualy for many is the sheer girth of the opus. ====Entry 10: April 20, 2012==== * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date? * how a stack is used to build a instruction code base * Why was this significant? * becuase this is the only way thats common and standarized how to run a registery based cpu * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense? * how to call certain registers in ordered due to the black size may be broken by malack * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course? * none to ASM but i need to make at least 2 more trinary gates logical work on papaer to even be half way done with HPC2 or at leasts thats my goal ====Entry 11: April 25, 2012==== * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date? * what comes next im been trying to hit the ground running with the instruction code set but im missing something really really big and im fairly certian its simple * Why was this significant? * becuase if i miss this what ever it is it may confuse the shit out of me even more so then i am now * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense? * instruction code set up and reading * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course? * umm everything from registery allocation to implementation to memory block ====Entry 12: April Day, 2012==== This is a sample format for a dated entry. Please substitute the actual date for "Month Day, Year", and duplicate the level 4 heading to make additional entries. As an aid, feel free to use the following questions to help you generate content for your entries: * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date? * Why was this significant? * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense? * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course? Remember that 4 is just the minimum number of entries. Feel free to have more. {{page>asmpart3&nofooter}} {{page>hpc2part3&nofooter}} =====Experiments===== ====Experiment 7==== ===Question=== What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? State it here. ===Resources=== Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. ===Hypothesis=== Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. State your rationale. ===Experiment=== How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment? ===Data=== Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here. ===Analysis=== Based on the data collected: * Was your hypothesis correct? * Was your hypothesis not applicable? * Is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) * What shortcomings might there be in your experiment? * What shortcomings might there be in your data? ===Conclusions=== What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. ====Experiment 8==== ===Question=== What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? State it here. ===Resources=== Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. ===Hypothesis=== Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. State your rationale. ===Experiment=== How are you going to test your hypothesis?

(shortcomings in hypothesis) * What shortcomings might there be in your experiment? * What shortcomings might there be in your data? ===Conclusions=== What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. ====Retest 3==== Perform the following steps: ===State Experiment=== Whose existing experiment are you going to retest? Provide the URL, note the author, and restate their question. ===Resources=== Evaluate their resources and commentary. Answer the following questions: * Do you feel the given resources are adequate in providing sufficient background information? * Are there additional resources you've found that you can add to the resources list? * Does the original experimenter appear to have obtained a necessary fundamental understanding of the concepts leading up to their stated experiment? * If you find a deviation in opinion, state why you think this might exist. ===Hypothesis=== State their experiment's hypothesis. Answer the following questions: * Do you feel their hypothesis is adequate in capturing the essence of what they're trying to discover? * What improvements could you make to their hypothesis, if any? ===Experiment=== Follow the steps given to recreate the original experiment. Answer the following questions: * Are the instructions correct in successfully achieving the results? * Is there room for improvement in the experiment instructions/description? What suggestions would you make? * Would you make any alterations to the structure of the experiment to yield better results? What, and why? ===Data=== Publish the data you have gained from your performing of the experiment here. ===Analysis=== Answer the following: * Does the data seem in-line with the published data from the original author? * Can you explain any deviations? * How about any sources of error? * Is the stated hypothesis adequate? ===Conclusions=== Answer the following: * What conclusions can you make based on performing the experiment? * Do you feel the experiment was adequate in obtaining a further understanding of a concept? * Does the original author appear to have gotten some value out of performing the experiment? * Any suggestions or observations that could improve this particular process (in general, or specifically you, or specifically for the original author).
