Merge Requests in GitLab

For each homework, submit your solution through a Merge Request (MR). This allows me to review your code and provide comments.

1. Create a separate branch, e.g, hw1-solution for your homework: git checkout -b hw1-solution
2. Add you solution and push your new branch to Gitlab
3. Open a Merge Request
   • Go to you Gitlab project in browser and click: Merge Requests/Create merge request.
   • Select Source branch: hw1-solution, Target Branch: master
   • Add a title, optional description, set @faltint as Assignee, and click Create merge request

Credit Project

See Credit Information Page for details.

Technology demo

Demonstrate a working prototype of your project. The goal is to show that your project is feasible and that all the necessary technologies are available and can be integrated.

Create a merge-reguest in GitLab.

It must contain:

• A short description of the demo, e.g., what it does and how it works.
• Description of the required technologies and libraries that needs to be installed to run the demo, including their versions.
• A build script, e.g., a cmake/script. (Worst case, a detailed manual how to build and run the demo.)

Framework for Finding a Project Idea

Understanding & Curiosity

• What system or concept do you want to deeply understand?
  Examples: OS, compilers, networking, ML pipelines.
• Is there a technology you’ve always wondered about internally?
  Examples: Blockchain, Docker, game engines.

Technology & Tools

• What libraries or frameworks does your domain rely on?
  Examples: OpenMP, MPI, LLVM, TensorFlow.
• Could you integrate multiple libraries for something new?

User-Centered Design

• Ask peers: What tasks frustrate them?
• Automate repetitive tasks or improve incomplete tools.

Innovation & Improvement

• Combine two ideas into something new.
• Implement a research algorithm practically.
• Create interactive learning tools.

Scalability & Performance

• Design for large data or parallel processing.
• Optimize for speed, memory, or energy.

Social Impact & Accessibility

• Improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
• Make complex tools easier for beginners.
