This class includes four programming projects based on the Pintos operating system. For these projects you will work in teams of two or three. The Pintos projects take quite a bit of time, so we recommend that you choose your teammates and get started as soon as possible. Before starting on any of the projects you should read the following Pintos materials:
See the Pintos documentation for details on this project:
Additional notes and modifications for Project 1:
fixed-point.h
in the directory src/threads. In addition, you
do not need to answer question C6 in the design document.malloc carelessly. If you call malloc,
you must check the result to make sure the system did not run out of
memory (and you must do something reasonable if memory does run out).
In addition, you must be sure that any memory you allocate is
eventually freed.See the Pintos documentation for details on this project:

Note: no extra credit is available for this Pintos project. The project description mentions that extra credit may be given for retaining virtual memory support in Project #4, but there is no extra credit in this class. You are welcome to implement this feature just for fun, but it makes the project considerably harder.
