Today I finished aggregating the data from the Python memory simulator logs into CSV files, and plotted the data. The graph can be viewed here. As you can see, there is a worst-case, normal-case, and best-case set of data, each corresponding to a page-removal algorithm. I think for a first program in Python, while it’s [...]
I previously mentioned the Python memory simulator project that I was developing, and had set it to run 6 tests on a dual-core machine. 4 of those tests completed, but 2 did not. It turns out that the overhead of performing a sort on Python lists with lengths exceeding 10000, several hundred times per second, [...]
I changed the look and feel of this blog yesterday, but now I’ve gone and changed it again. I like this one better. Comments?
I’ve accomplished a fair number of items this week, and so I bring them here to you.
Our team for CSCD340 (Operating Systems) has finished our memory paging simulator (written in Python), and we are now in the process of running 6 tests on it. The tests include simulating the following:
Consecutive data, worst efficiency algorithm
Consecutive data, [...]
You may notice things appear differently. Comments appreciated…

I recently carpooled to a programming competition at Whitworth with some other students and one of our instructors. During the trip, I made mention of a friend of mine who had recently graduated from EWU and taken a job on the west side, and how I would like to head over there after graduation as [...]
