<p><font face="serif">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.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">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. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">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 <b>WEDNESDAY</b>. 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.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">That is the last extension I can give at this
point.</font></p>
