Hello, the CSC is hosting a Code Party!!11!! on 2009-11-27 at 7:00 PM in Comfy Lounge.
Facebook has been generous enough to sponsor the event, and will be bringing food as well as
a few former Facebook coops to hang out.
So come join us for a night of coding. Get in touch with more experianced coders,
advertize for/bug squash on your favourite open source project, write that personal
project you were planning to do for a while but haven't found the time. Don't
have any ideas but want to sit and hack? Try your hand at the Facebook puzzles,
write a new app, or just chill and watch scifi.
Hope to see you there.
If you have any questions about the event e-mail the executive or check http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca.

Hello, the CSC is hosting a talk entitled "In the Beginning"
by Dr. Bill Cowan on 2009-11-05 at 4:30 PM in MC2065.
To most CS students an OS kernel is pretty low level. But there is
something even lower, the instructions that must be executed to get the
CPU ready to accept a kernel. That is, if you look at any processor's
reference manual there is a page or two describing the state of the CPU
when it powered on. This talk describes what needs to happen next,
up to the point where the first kernel instruction executes.
This part of execution is extremely architecture-dependent. Those of
you who have any experience with this aspect of CS probably know the x86
architecture, and think it's horrible, which it is. I am going to talk
about the ARM architecture, which is inside almost all mobile phones,
and which allows us to look at a simple implementation that includes
all the essentials.
Hope to see you there.
If you have any questions about the event e-mail the executive or check http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
