Yleistä
The course is an intermediate module optional course.
The course gives practical and hands-on skills in designing and programming TCP/IP networking applications in a Unix environment.
Course results are now available.
Kurssin suorittaminen
The course can only be completed by active participation to the course. Active participation means being active in the weekly exercices, completing the programming exercise, and passing the course exam. Only the course exam can be retaken, but it requires that all the other requirements of the course have been completed acceptably.
Teaching and Other Course Arrangements
Information on teaching and schedule is available here
The course includes
- 28 hours of lectures (4 h / week)
- 6 or 7 weekly exercises
- programming exercise
- course exam (2,5 hours)
Passing the course by active participation requires (tentatively)
- taking the course exam (max. 40 points available, min. 17 points required for passing)
- participating actively in the weekly exercices that may give max. 14 points. At least one (1) point is required for passing.
- completing the programming exercise (max. 6 points)
The grading is based on the total points achieved. A passing grade requires at least 30 points in total.
Exercises:
- Active participation to the exercises is a requirement and known to be very useful.
- Collecting exercise points requires active participation in exercises by preparing the answers to the exercise tasks before the exercise group meets. The answers need not to be perfect, but should be in the right ballpark. In the beginning of the exercise session each student marks to a name list the tasks that she/he has completed (the name list is provided by the instructor). A marked task means that the student is prepared to present her/his answer to the group.
- Each completed exercise task gives one exercise task point (ETP).
- In total there will be approx. 6 exercise tasks per week. Roughly 1/3 ETPs out of max. ETPs gives one (1) execise point that is the minimum required and 5/6 of max. ETPs gives the maximum 14 exercise points.
Exercise Task Point accumulation can be found here.

Programming exercise (Feb 28 - March 11, 2013)
The exercise has started - UNIX_TL service is running.
Programming exercise assignment.
NOTE: Programs that use fork() system call are strictly prohibited to test on the "main frame" Unix computers of the CS department (i.e., melkki, melkinkari, melkinpaasi, and users). Preferably use the computer which you are sitting at, or in remote use, please select one of the nodes allocated for the course in the department's high performance cluster Ukko (ukko177.hpc.cs.helsinki.fi - ukko179.hpc.cs.helsinki.fi) for remote login when testing such programs.
Allocate enough time to complete the exercise during above mentioned time period!
The work load of this exercise roughly matches to the work load of three regular weekly exercises and course points are gained according to the completion date of the exercise (more points for faster completion).
