Welcome to CS 1207 !

Academic Integrity: All LS's and PA1 are single-student homeworks. The work must be all your own. Do not copy any parts of any of the homeworks from anyone including the web. Do not look at other students' code, papers, or exams. Do not make any parts of your homework available to anyone, and make sure no one can read your files. We will be using the Moss system to detect software plagiarism. This system is amazingly good, because it understands the programming language C. It is not considered copying to clarify vague points in the assignments, or to give help or receive help in using the computer systems, compilers, debuggers, profilers, or other facilities. Any thing other than those mentioned will be considered as copying.

Credits: Much of the material used in this course is taken from the courses taught by distinguished professors: Prof. Markus Puschel (ETH), Prof. Maria Garzaran (UIUC), Prof. Keshav Pingali (UT), Prof. Charles E. Leiserson (MIT), Prof. Richard Vudua (GaTech), Prof. James Demmel and Prof. Dan Garcia (UCB), Prof. Saday (Ohio). Thanks to all of them for making their course material available online.
