[CSC 435] Class Cancelled

[Andrew J. Pounds]

So class is cancelled due to snow...  which means we will move your 
reading quiz to Thursday.

Also -- if you get a chance, try to log onto one of the lab machines 
under Linux to test your code (just for grins -- not to turn in). These 
processors are, for the most part, newer than the processor in zeus and 
have bigger instruction sets.  I think the ones in lab 100 may even have 
the avx instructions set -- which should be awesome for vector 
computations.  I need to verify that.

I ran my dot product code on a single processor of one of my chemistry 
machines with the avx instruction set and got over 1.5 Gflops -- thats 
five times faster than zeus.
