[CSC 435] The Midterm and the Batch Queues

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Alright -- I know several of you still need to use the batch queues to 
finish your midterm.  About an hour ago there was one user that was 
effectively blocking anyone else from accessing the queues until 
sometime Monday afternoon.  That person dequed several of their jobs, 
but still has many jobs in a holding state -- so I am assuming that they 
will be queued later today.

Because the Canvas assignment for tomorrow requires the use of hammer, I 
am going to reschedule the assignment for later in the week.  You can 
start the assignment if you want -- but since it requires hammer the 
likelihood of your jobs completing in a timely fashion (while competing 
for the queus) is low.

Therefore, we will not have class tomorrow but I will be in the 
classroom if you have questions.  You can use that time to (1) complete 
your midterm and (2) start on the assignment that will be due later in 
the week (initial Pthreads programming), but you do not have to come to 
Godsey to do it. The midterm is due to me by 11:15 on *WEDNESDAY*.   At 
11 am on Wednesday I will administratively CLEAR the batch queues on 
hammer and kill/dequeue any jobs present so that we can all use the 
queues for completing the class assignments related to Pthreads and OpenMP.

That is the last extension I can give at this point.
