+  *Additional office hours for this week: Wed August 3, 4:00-6:00 pm.
+  *The final exam will be a closed book, 180-min test covering everything that was covered after the midterm; i.e. the five topics: floating-point, Verilog, single-cycle, pipelines, and caches. Bring a photo ID and optionally a calculator and an information sheet (one 8.5×11” sheet on which you can write or type on either side). Note that the MIPS Green Card, the SPIM system call table, and the CPU diagrams will be provided.

+  *To clarify, the marking scheme for the labs is as follows:
+  - If you have attempted all 8 labs, then york marks for the labs = your best 7 lab marks + your best lab mark
+  - If you have attempted 7 labs, then york marks for the labs = your marks for the 7 labs that you have done + your best lab mark

+**Sat July 16, 2011**
+  *Due to the technical problem on last Monday, the lab session had to be cancelled. Thus,  you'll be doing Lab-M next Monday (the 18th). The following Monday (July 25th), all 8 labs will be available so that if you have attempted the previous 7 labs and want to try Lab-N,  you can work on it; if not, you can make up for any number of missed labs, possibly along with Lab-N. As for the adjusted marking scheme, I will take the best of your lab marks for  your 8th lab mark (regardless of whether you have attempted only 7 or all 8 labs).

+**Sat July 2, 2011**
+  *Drop date, i.e. the last day to drop the course, is approaching. If you need to drop this course, do it on or before July 5 (Tuesday).

+**Wed June 29, 2011**
+  *The marks of midterm exam are now on ePost and the partial solutions / marking scheme are posted in the solutions folder (see Weekly Schedule for the latter). The papers will be returned in class tomorrow. See Policies for the procedure to follow in case there is a need to reappraise.
