ECE Hmk #3 Solved

Note:

You can write, debug and test your code locally on your personal computer. However, the code you submit must compile and run correctly on the PACE-ICE server.
Problem 1: Lattice paths

(www.projecteuler.net) Write a console program that takes as a command line arguments the height and width of a lattice.

Example for a lattice 20 high and 10 wide.

Problem1.exe –h 20 –w 10

Using the logic described below use multithreading to determine the number of possible paths through the lattice as quickly as possible. You should output to the console the number of paths exactly like the following (remember to add a line feed at the end of the ouput)

    • Problem1.exe –h 2 –w 2

    • Number of Routes: 6

>

Path rules:

Starting in the top left corner of the lattice, and only being able to move to the right and down, determine the number of routes to the bottom right corner of the lattice.

Example:

There are exactly 6 routes to the bottom right corner of a 2 x 2 lattice.








Problem 2: Largest Product in a Grid

(www.projecteuler.net) Write a multithreaded console program using OpenMP that takes as a command line argument the name of a data file. The data file will contain a M x N grid of numbers. Your program must read in the data file and determine the largest product of four adjacent numbers in the same direction (up, down, left, right, or diagonally). Below is an example of 4 adjacent diagonal numbers in Red:

























File format:

All values in the text data file are space delimited. You can assume that the input data file does not contain errors, such as missing numbers or nonnumeric numbers and all numbers are greater than or equal to 0. You are free to create as many files as you like and use whatever filenames in order to create a solution. All the files *.cpp and *.h files you create should reside in a single folder that can be compiled to create the executable.

The first line in the file will have the number of M rows and N columns. The next M lines in the data file will contain the rows of N numbers.

Use the file data_Problem2.txt included in the assignment as a test input file.

Output:

Your program should create a text file called output2.txt, in the same directory as the executable, with just the numerical answer on a single line.

Problem 3 (ECE 6122 students only): Maximum Path Sum

(www.projecteuler.net) By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.









That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.

Similar to Problem #2, write a multi-threaded console program using OpenMP that takes as a command line argument the name of a data file. Your program must read in a triangle of arbitrary size from a data file. The first line will contain the number of levels in the triangle. A sample data file is attached (data_triangle.txt) to the homework assignment. Your program must find the maximum sum path through the input triangle starting at the top of the triangle.

You can assume that the input data file does not contain errors, such as missing numbers or nonnumeric numbers and all numbers are greater than or equal to 0.


Output:

Your program should create a text file called output3.txt, in the same directory as the executable, with just the numerical answer on a single line.


Appendix A: Coding Standards

Indentation:

When using if/for/while statements, make sure you indent 4 spaces for the content inside those. Also make sure that you use spaces to make the code more readable.

For example:

for (int i; i < 10; i++)

{

j = j + i;

}

If you have nested statements, you should use multiple indentions. Each { should be on its own line (like the for loop) If you have else or else if statements after your if statement, they should be on their own line.

for (int i; i < 10; i++)

{

if (i < 5)

{

counter++;

k -= i;

}

else

{

k +=1;

}

j += i;

}

Camel Case:

This naming convention has the first letter of the variable be lower case, and the first letter in each new word be capitalized (e.g. firstSecondThird). This applies for functions and member functions as well! The main exception to this is class names, where the first letter should also be capitalized.

Variable and Function Names:

Your variable and function names should be clear about what that variable or function is. Do not use one letter variables, but use abbreviations when it is appropriate (for example: “imag" instead of “imaginary”) . The more descriptive your variable and function names are, the more readable your code will be. This is the idea behind self-documenting code.








7
File Headers:

Every file should have the following header at the top /*

Author: <your name>

Class: ECE4122 or ECE6122

Last Date Modified: <date>

Description:

What is the purpose of this file?

*/

Code Comments:

    1. Every function must have a comment section describing the purpose of the function, the input and output parameters, the return value (if any).
    2. Every class must have a comment section to describe the purpose of the class.

    3. Comments need to be placed inside of functions/loops to assist in the understanding of the flow of the code.

Appendix B: Accessing PACE-ICE Instructions

ACCESSING LINUX PACE-ICE CLUSTER (SERVER)

To access the PACE-ICE cluster you need certain software on your laptop or desktop system, as described below.


Windows Users:

Option 0 (Using SecureCRT)- THIS IS THE EASIEST OPTION!

The Georgia Tech Office of Information Technology (OIT) maintains a web page of software that can be downloaded and installed by students and faculty. That web page is:

http://software.oit.gatech.edu

From that page you will need to install SecureCRT.

To access this software, you will first have to log in with your Georgia Tech user name and password, then answer a series of questions regarding export controls.

Connecting using SecureCRT should be easy.

    • Open SecureCRT, you'll be presented with the "Quick Connect" screen.

    • Choose protocol "ssh2".

    • Enter the name of the PACE machine you wish to connect to in the "HostName" box (i.e. coc-ice.pace.gatech.edu)

    • Type your username in the "Username" box.

    • Click "Connect".

    • A new window will open, and you'll be prompted for your password.

Option 1 (Using Ubuntu for Windows 10):

Option 1 uses the Ubuntu on Windows program. This can only be downloaded if you are running Windows 10 or above. If using Windows 8 or below, use Options 2 or 3. It also requires the use of simple bash commands.

    1. Install Ubuntu for Windows 10 by following the guide from the following link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install-win10

    2. Once Ubuntu for Windows 10 is installed, open it and type the following into the command line:


ssh **YourGTUsername**@coc-ice.pace.gatech.edu where **YourGTUsername** is replaced with your alphanumeric GT login. Ex: bkim334

    3. When it asks if you’re sure you want to connect, type in: yes

9
and type in your password when prompted (Note: When typing in your password, it will not show any characters typing)

4.    You’re now connected to PACE-ICE. You can edit files using vim by typing in:


vi filename.cc    OR    nano vilename.cpp
