Winter Break, Finals, and SpecJBB!!

Hello everyone!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break (mmm food…) and we hope you will have a great Winter Break (CHRISTMAS AGH) too. However, we should get some specs out of the way first.

Jolie and I are going to use this week (probably not next week because finals) to completely finish the report and make it spiffy and fantastic. All we really have to do is read over our analyses, make sure they sound educated (I really need to do that), and make sure it is production ready. It’s not too much to do, but it will keep us busy.

Also, now that we have SpecJBB, Jolie and I are going to spend winter break running the benchmark on our machines with different input sets. We hope that we will have all of the traces recorded before break ends so that next semester we’ll be ready to start using those traces along with all of our other ones and basically redo everything we did this semester with the new data set. Yay (not yay).

We were only able to get SpecJBB set up thanks to our lovely colleague, Lowell. Thanks, Lowell!

Well, as short as this post is, I’m going to have to cut it. Toodles!
