CSCI 2021 Lab 0xA: Midterm 2 Review

Today we will be holding a review for Midterm 2 (instead of moving on to caches). We thought that with the heavy workload over the last couple of weeks, it would be helpful to not introudce any new material and instead try to help you prepare for the Midterm on Friday.

To help you prepare, we have created a few sample problems that may be similar to problems we could have put in EX-2 and EX-3. A pdf version of the slides can be found on the course Moodle page. We will post solutions (on Moodle) to the problems one all lab sections have been completed.

To get the most out of the review, we ask that you follow along and attempt to work through the problems during the time allotted. If you have a pencil and some paper with you, it wouldn't be a bad idea to write down your solutions. Otherwise, you can just open a notepad on your computer and type up your answers. After about 5-10 minutes of working time, we will ask you to share your solutions with the class or with another student near you.

Write down any questions while going through the exercises as a reminder to yourself to ask a TA for help, or to look up the answer later.
