Recently I have started to learn Rust through a program called Summer of Rust led by a Computer Science student at Carleton University. While I had plans to explore C++ and assembly for the summer, I thought it would be a good time to learn Rust instead with a group of students since learning anything by yourself requires a lot of effort.

Have you ever wonder how to view the assembly code generated for the particular line of code written in C before? Perhaps you have used Compiler Explorer by Matt Godbolt to play around with the source code to examine the behavior that is occuring behind the scene.

This is a course review of MATH2052 - Calculus and Introductory Analysis II taken at CarletonU in the winter of 2022. The lectures were asynchronous prerecorded lectures with online synchronous tutorials that were recorded. There was one in-person tutorial open to students who were both comfortable and available to travel to the University.

In preparation for my presentation on QNX APS (Adaptive Partitioning Scheduler), I decided to write a blog that goes through what partitions are, how to control resources in QNX, and what APS are. Though a lot of the information is just based on the QNX documentation all put into one page but with examples and referencing other publically available resources (i.e. foundary27, papers, blogs, and what I found from playing around with APS). This page will not go through how to use APS through the Momentics IDE nor will it cover the various C API’s to configure the partition. There’s already a lot to cover, so the C API’s will be potentially covered in another blog post (provided I can muster enough willpower to request and pester QNX for either an educational license or a 30-day trial since I no longer have access to a valid QNX license)

Looking at QNX for the past 3 months has been enjoyable for the most part. But the thing that annoys me the most is the difficulty of finding the release notes for each QNX SDP. While I do have some internal access to a document that links to all the QNX release notes at work, I found it annoying how it cannot be easily obtained through a google search. (imagine if web search and web indexing services did not exist, the internet would be unnavigatable).

Have you ever wondered how to obtain the IP address from a client when working on a socket application? That is what recvfrom() API comes in handy.
