Each term project team gives a 5-minute proposal talk in class this Thurs. I'll let you choose the order.

2   Linux programming tip

I like to use emacs on my local machine to edit files on parallel.ecse. It's more responsive than running a remote editor, and lets me copy to and from local files. Here are 2 ways to do that.

1. In emacs on my local machine, I do find-file thus:

   /parallel.ecse.rpi.edu:/parallel-class/thrust/rpi/tiled_range2.cu

   Emacs transparently runs scp to read and write the remote file.

2. I can mount remote directories on my local machine with something like ssh-fs and then edit remote files as if they were local.

In either case, I have to compile the files on parallel.
