Previous implementation of sleep uses busy wait. Therefore, my objective is to get rid of busy waiting as it waste CPU cycles, which is inefficient.
- Methods that I re-implemented are timer_sleep() and timer_interrupt() in src/devices/timer.c
- I also added a comparator method for comparing the sleeping time for two thread's so that they are ordered in the list when they are added
- I was able to pass every single test cases for this project.
- alarm-single
- alarm-multiple
- alarm-simultaneous
- alarm-zero
- alarm-negative
- To compile and run, go to terminal. cd to where pintos file is, then:
- %>cd src/threads
- %>make
- %>cd build
- Now you can run the test either you type in %>make check for running automated test or %>make grade for running grading script
