Assignment must be done individually or in pairs.

Total: [75] Marks

[10] Design/Style
    • Use good style
        ◦ All modules, files, functions, and variables are named well
        ◦ All .h files have a comment at the top
        ◦ All code has excellent indentation
        (You don’t need to match the course’s style guide, you just need to write beautiful code)
    • Have a clean modular design:
        ◦ No externally linked global variables
        ◦ Functions meant to be used by other modules are externally linked and listed in .h file
        ◦ Functions not meant to be used by other modules are internally linked
        ◦ Thread IDs and mutextes are encapsulated inside modules (not available from other modules)
            ◦ Multiple modules, each with its own .h and .c file. Expected ~5 to ~20 modules (each with a .h/.c file).
    • Be multi-threaded and threadsafe (no race-cases; use mutexes to protect critical sections)
    • Use no busy waits (use sleep() or mutexes instead)
    • Be written in C, or Rust (requires guidance to TAs for compiling and running)
    • Use a makefile to build your application as described in the assignment.
    • Possible _40_ point deduction for failing to build per the assignment description.
