Assignments
Note first of all that not all assignments are worth the same number
of points. Particularly towards the end of the semester, the point
values per assignment will generally increase.
-
Assignment 1, to time computing a
the 2-norm of a vector of doubles, and figure the computational rate.
-
Assignment 2, to time different
ways of computing norms and find out which is fastest.
Notice I've updated the zip file containing the Matlab version, and put
it into
zip file updated_norms.zip. You can use either of
the two, just be sure to fix my mistake on the 2-norm if you use the original version.
-
Assignment 3, to use the BLAS-3s.
You do not need to use these, but here is
a gzipped tar file
and a zip file with the Matlab
tools I used in class on 18 Nov. And a way-too large data set is in those
as well. They also have some utility scripts that factor and format numbers,
looking for any features that may affect performance.
