We have sent your a2 result to your UNSW email. If you have questions regarding your marks, please follow the instructions in the email and come to the final consultation on Thursday .
FYI, the top 30 total timings (in usr+sys seconds) for completing all 30 tests that scoring all Ys are:

Some statistics:
Smallest memory usage: constant 4.1MB for all data files Largest memory usage: 490MB for small1; 5.518GB for large Smallest index file size: 0 for all data files Largest index file size: 54MB for small data files; 1.8GB for large
Your tutor Chris is going to run an online consultation session (via Moodle Blackboard Collaborate - click Course Room, as described in Live Lecture 1) this Thursday 15 August 2-4pm .
If you have any last minute questions before the exam, or have any individual doubts regarding your a2 result, please join.
As mentioned at the last live lecture, marking each a2 may take quite awhile (as we need to allocate enough real time to accommodate usr+sys time for each test, extra time to run valgrind, and it has totally 30 tests). We still aim to email you the results early next week (or else will keep you informed).
Meanwhile, if you would like to check / run those tests. You can do so now by log into db-perftest, simply go inside your folder that contains your makefile and program source files and run: ~cs9319/a2/automark
As mentioned at the live lecture, the above automark script is provided for your reference. It only checks for output correctness and approximate the usr+sys time using real time (with additional buffer time). It does not include the checking of index file size, memory usages or the actual usr+sys time (whilst these constraints are checked as separate processes during our actual marking). If you have questions regarding running the test, please post at the Ed forum or stop by the consultation this Friday.
The script includes tests using the following datasets: 1/3 small; 1/3 medium; and 1/3 large.
Warning : if your program is slow, it may take a long time to run through all 30 tests.
Please be reminded that the live lecture next Friday (August 2) 9:00-11:00 AEST will be in-person and it's at Keith Burrows Theatre (J14) . We will review the course as well as assignment 2; and discuss the final exam (including the availability of a sample exam, how to prepare, etc).
Please note that consultations will be run until the end of Week 11 (in case you have questions when reviewing the course materials to prepare for the exam).
Last week’s live lecture mentioned that this Friday’s lecture will be all about Q&A for Assignment 2. If you’re stuck or have any questions, please join in (via Moodle). No worries if you’re all good – you can skip it. It won’t have slides, but it’ll be recorded.
Please join a consultation if you need more individual help.
As discussed in the live lecture today, if you made a minor mistake in your a1 that affected your score significantly and wish to resubmit your corrected program files, you may do so by following the Assignment 1 Optional Resubmission information page before Friday 19th July 12:00pm AEST (noon).
We have sent your a1 marks to your UNSW email. If you have any questions, please follow the instructions in the email. Please post in Ed for general questions / come to the consultations for individual doubt.
~cs9319/a1/automark has been modified such that lencode test6 and test7 only check the file sizes (similar to test8 and test9 now). This is to allow the flexibility of the 3 byte index encoding.
We aim to release the a1 results by this Friday (and will confirm here once it is done). Meanwhile, if you would like to check / run the automark tests in advance, you can do so by:
Post in the Ed forum or come to the consultations if you have problems.
