  EXECUTIVE-SUMMARY

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Challenges:

The only challenge I faced in this project was handling 
MESI state transitions.  Like with any problem in programming, 
drawing a picture always explains the obvious.  Once I had 
doodled all possible scenarios on a write in the L3, everything 
fell into place.

Insight:

This project was no doubt my favorite assignment at UWT so far. 
I learned more in this assignment alone than my Java programming 
practicum.  It motivates me to continue most of my programming 
in C and learn more about the linux kernel (and eventually 
program in the kernel).

References:

I did the occasional google search and read the top search result 
but no actual code was referenced in making this program.

Evaluation:

I prefer doing these kinds of projects myself to learn every part
of the assignment on my own.
