Welcome to the 6.033 lab (also known as 6.906)!
You are receivng this e-mail because you expressed interested in the 6.033 lab.
If this is not the case and we made some administrative mistake, please send
us e-mail to clarify the situtation quickly.
First a little bit of administrivia. We'll be handling registration for the lab
on February 20 (not this Friday, February 13th). Nobody who wants to take the
lab will be denied the opportunity to try to complete it.
Three TAs will be teaching lab sections this year. They are Kevin Fu, Dave
Mazieres, and Costa Sapuntzakis. Administrative questions should be addressed
to the TAs.
The 6.033-lab@mit.edu mailing list and the class 6.033 instance lab zephyr
realm can be used for discussions of the labs. We'd like to encourage students
to post questions to the list and for other students to answer them.
The first meeting of the lab is this Friday, Feburary 13th at 2pm. This is
the slot reserved for 6.033 lectures on Friday so it should already
be free in your schedule. To accomodate the large quantity of students, there
will be three sections (taught simultaneously at 2pm):
24-307, 26-310, 36-153.
Please select one to attend using some unbiased random process.
There are two major projects in this class. The first is a Web proxy server.
It is an individual project and though collaboration on the design and working
through the implementation is allowed, all the code should be yours. The second
is a file system. The file system is a group project, done in groups of three.
Finally, there is also a minor assignment that will be handed out this
Friday. Its aim is to help get you acquainted with the development environment
and tools on Athena. We will be doing all development under UNIX with C as the
primary language. C proficiency is assumed for this class, though experience
with the UNIX system interface is not.
You will be able to substitute the write-ups of your design and implementation
of both projects in lieu of doing 6.033 design projects 1 and 2.
We'll be starting right off discussing the proxy server assignment on Friday so
make sure not to miss it.
See ya there!
-Costa
