Wiki, FlightData, and Merge Sort

Hey all,

Just an update, considering there hasn't been a blog post in a while.

Wiki:
  • Created a wiki page through Google Sites (link coming soon)
  • Lots of time into customizing the Google Site to have the 'look and feel' of a wiki
Flight Data:
  •  Uses file I/O and Cilk's array notation (link coming soon)
 Merge Sort:
  • Implemented merge sort in serial and in parallel, measured performance
  • Found issues with the parallel implementation of the sort (originally implemented from a textbook)
  • Re-implemented merge sort using an approach found in a paper
  • In progress: measuring performance
  • Link and video coming soon
YouTube Videos:
  •  Creating several videos for the wiki ("how to's" and tutorials/explanations)
  •  Creating videos for the flight data, and merge sort
