# 600086-Lab-C ## Multiple Rust files Multiple Rust files can be linked together into a single application with the use of the `mod` statement Placing `mod my_second_file` in one Rust file, enables that file to use the functions from `my_second_file.rs` Make use of this functionality to move your thread main function, from the previous lab …
# 600086-Lab-H In this lab we’re going to expand on the synchronization examples covered in the lectures, and also explore the efficiency of one of the parallel patterns — striped arrays — in more detail. ## Condition variables Create a producer / consumer architecture using condition variables. A simple consumer / producer system was introduced …
# 600086-Lab-E ## Q1. Thread safe printing Open the **unsafe_print** folder in Visual Studio Code. Build and run the code, and ensure that it works. Examine the code to become familiar with the syntax. The output should appear jumbled, as multiple threads compete for the single print function. This is called a race condition. Make …
# 600086-Lab-A This lab takes you through the process of installing and setting up your Rust environment, and gets you started on learning Rust. There is a video on Canvas to accompany this setup procedure. ## Installation Download and install Visual Studio Code, from: https://code.visualstudio.com/ Download and install Rust, from https://rustup.rs/ Open VS Code and …
# 600086-Lab-B This lab introduces basic elements of threading. As you progress through this semester, you’ll be learning a lot about parallel and concurrent programming, that will hopefully prove valuable both during your career and also as technical background for the likely questions you’ll face in interviews. To assist you in remembering these intricacies you’ll …
# 600086-Lab-G In this lab we’re going to extend our particle system developed in Lab-F, to add in a collision counter. ## Q1. Colliding particles Make a copy of your `particle_threaded` project and name it `colliding_particle_threaded` Create a new function `collide()` that checks if a particle collides with (or is very close to) another particle. …
# 600086-Lab-D ## Ownership limitations In the lecture and Lab C we looked at Rust class called `SharedData`. This class is used for sharing of data across two or more threads pub struct SharedData { value: u32 impl SharedData { pub fn new() -> SharedData { SharedData { pub fn update(&mut self) { let local_value …
600086-Lab-I Parallel Particle Systems Concept Implement two versions of a simple aerosol paint simulation, one on the CPU and the other on the GPU. Specification The scene is composed of a white sheet of paper placed in the centre of a desk. A number of aerosol cans stand on the desk in a circle that …
