Ideas

both large and small

Fall 2020
- bash associative arrays: https://www.artificialworlds.net/blog/2012/10/17/bash-associative-array-examples/

Spring 2019
- comporg

pctX:
- level 0: easy level letter division (base 10)
- level 1: medium level letter division (base 10)
- level 2: hard level letter division (base 10)
- level 3: other base letter division (base 8)
- level 4: other base letter division (base 6, 7, 9)
- level 5: other base letter division (base 11-16)
- level 6: data analysis (generate possibilities and filter)
- level 7: ???

hpc0 projects
- write ipban
- write refreshweb
- multibase multiplication table (mathfacts)
- process SRTI data

discrete projects
- multibase multiplication table (mathfacts)
- multibase multiplication tester (chkmult)

Neat stuff:
Web:
UNIX vi project (use replay vim plugin to ensure compliance)
- web page project
- blog project
- https://www.openvim.com/
project idea:
- ask the user to select a type (char, short int, int, long int; in signed or unsigned capacity)
- prompt the user to enter a value
- generate and output the binary representation of the value.
sysprog as a minimalist UNIX system rebuild (better know the system through implementing basic tools)
- projects are implementing commands, writing necessary code so certain in-place scripts can work, etc.
automated assessment (assessMESS)
gn irc frontend (for automated alert posting)
UNIX/HPC projects:
- SSHFS FUSE mount of remote filesystem (http://www.admin-magazine.com/HPC/Articles/Sharing-Data-with-SSHFS)
CPROG projects:
- 1D array vs. 2D array (print out rows/cols using both approaches)

Data Communications Objectives

implement solutions to analyze data (programmatic or with tools)
implement solutions to visualize data (programmatic or with tools)
validate information through error detection (CRC, parity, other)
encode/decode information (endian, ASCII, other)
implement solutions according to specifications (data formats/layouts)
implement solutions to send information (programmatic or with tools)
implement solutions to receive information (programmatic or with tools)
discuss aspects of performance, reliability, efficiency related to solutions

HPC Experience I Objectives

document solutions for reference
perform tasks to facilitate lab operations
perform diagnostics on lab resources
implement lab resources
interact with server and client resources
discuss security implications of approaches and solutions
discuss performance implications of approaches and solutions
discuss efficiency implications of approaches and solutions
discuss high vs low level approaches
discuss infrastructure vs presentation details
perform system administration tasks
implement solutions according to specifications (resources, tasks)

UNIX course objectives

utilize shell I/O redirection features in problem solving
implement bash shell scripts
utilize File Access (Read, Write, Append)
implement command-line pipelines to create custom solutions
utilize and problem solve in a command-line environment
utilize critical thinking skills to synthesize and solve problems creatively
apply abstraction skills to craft flexible solutions to problems
explore the unix philosophy and its application

Elon Musk Scientific Method

Ask a question.
Gather as much evidence as possible about it.
Develop axioms based on the evidence, and try to assign a probability of truth to each one.
Draw a conclusion based on cogency in order to determine: Are these axioms correct, are they relevant, do they necessarily lead to this conclusion, and with what probability?
Attempt to disprove the conclusion. Seek refutation from others to further help break your conclusion.
If nobody can invalidate your conclusion, then you're probably right, but you're not certainly right.
