Scientific Computing Dept. [Part 1]

well..

i just wanted to write some about the department i’ve choosen to continue with in my final year at FCIS

as you can feel from the title of the topic “Part 1″ which means the first term of the year

basically it was not as i expected “actually i dont know what was i expecting :D ” but it was better i think it’s the only department that you are given the problem and some basic knowladge and you have to make implement an algorithm

and that’s exactly the ACMer’s life :)

i’ll give a short note on every subject from the first term

First : Scientific Visualization

Troubleshooting in ACM-ICPC Contest

i’ve participated in many contests as organizer, specifically in the technical stuff which is mainly two portions

  • The IDE which is mainly “eclipse
  • The contest communication tool which can’t be except “pc2″

and in the last contest i’ve participated in it’s technical preparations i faced a number of troubles

lets take them one by one

1.Teams don’t connect to the Server which is a Linux Machine

  • Solution : before you open the server edit the “pc2server” file and edit this line
  • java -Djava.security.policy=policy.ini $PC2CN $*
  • to be
  • java -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=”10.106.0.35″ -Djava.security.policy=policy.ini $PC2CN $*
  • of course change the ip according to your server ip

and make this edit in all the executables you will run {team, board, judge…..}

ACM

i think every Computer Science student who didnt join his ACM student chapter had lost sooo much
