<p><font face="serif">Guys - on Friday some of you were experiencing
an issue where your pthreads jobs were not returning values. I
did some investigating and their are multiple possible reasons
for this, but resolving these will take one-on-one time with me
and you at your Godsey workstation to resolve. We will
definitely have to do that before we start doing distributed
computing -- but I want to simplify your life right now rather
than complicating it.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">For that reason I have - for the time being -
paused and relocated all of my research calculations from
hammer.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">I would like for you to re-do your p-threads
exercise using hammer and not your local machine in Godsey (just
the part where you build the table). Please use something like
the job submission script I gave you in the exercise description
-- you need all of the "#" items from the job submission script
-- those are not comments! In class on Monday I want to try a
few experiments with you related to hammer. The final version
of initial pThreads and Dusty will be due Monday night.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Enjoy the superbowl... </font><br>
