CSAPP-Labs

• First, read through the materials and THE GREAT CSAPP. Each course's theme correspond to the chapter on book.
• There're 7 labs available for u to conquer. The process of doing them alone is not only helpful for computer basics, but also the C programming language which we will see very powerful in many ways.
• For beginners self-learning CS like me, the CMU CS Structure below may be of great help for learning routes. It's just a reference for beginners who can't follow regular college processes. However, we can follow alike structure to build our own tech stack.

• [Data Lab 笔记]

涉及了位运算，补码和浮点数等内容，都是C语言程序设计题。

• [Bomb Lab 笔记]

拆除二进制炸弹，可以大大提升看汇编代码的能力。

• [Attack Lab 笔记]

这个lab主要涉及了栈随机化，不可执行等栈保护的方法和使栈溢出、ROP攻击等内容。

• [Architecture Lab (Y86-64) 笔记]

Architecture Lab，涉及了Y86-64指令集，和SEQ和PIPE的实现方式，以及程序优化等内容，可以熟悉汇编和硬件语言HCL。

• [Performance Lab 笔记]

这个lab在CMU已经被Cache Lab取代了，考虑到Cache Lab比较难，可以先做这个lab练练手。基于书上第五、六章对程序进行优化，主要用了循环分块消除缓存不命中和消除分支预测错误等方法。

• [Cache Lab 笔记]

Part A要求写一个缓存模拟器，Part B要求优化矩阵转置函数，减少缓存不命中数。这个lab可以加深对缓存的理解。已写完Part A。
