HW2 Grading Policy
===

$$
score = correctness*0.5 + performance*0.2 + report
$$

## Correctness (50%)
- $X$: passed tests
- $N$: total number of tests

$$
correctness = \frac{X}{N} * 100
$$

## Performance (20%)
- $T$: time + panelty (from the scoreboard)
- $T_i$: student $i$'s $T$
- $T_{best}$: the minimum $T$ of all the students

$$
performance = \frac{T_{best}}{T_i}*100
$$

## Report (30%)
1. (15%) Explain your implementation, especially in the following aspects:
- How do you implement your program?
- (2.5%) Describe the design/overview of the program breifly
- What scheduling algorithm did you use: static, dynamic, guided, etc.?
- (2.5%) Mention the scheduling algorithm they use. (static / dynamic / guided...)
- (2.5%) Describe why they chose this algorithm.
- (optional, 2.5%) Prove that their choice is better through experiments (the result plot/timing is needed)
- How do you partition the task?
- (2.5%) Mention the partition method.
- (optional, 2.5%) Prove that their choice is better through experiments
- What techniques do you use to reduce execution time?
- (2.5%) Mention at least 1 technique to reduce the execution time, excluding simple parallelization using pthread, MPI, or OpenMP.
- (optional, 0-2.5%) Other efforts you make in your program.
2. (10% + <span style="color:red;">bonus 5%</span>) Analysis:
- Design your own plots to show the load balance of your algorithm between threads/processes.
- (5%) Draw the plot
- (5%) Explain the indications of the plot
- (<span style="color:red;">bonus, 5%</span>) If you have modified the default parameter settings, please also compare the results of the default settings and your settings.
- (optional, 0-5%) Other things worth mentioning.
3. (5%) Conclusion:
- (2.5%) What have you learned from this assignment?
- Describe at least 1 thing they learned
- (2.5%) What difficulty did you encounter in this assignment?
- (1%) Describe at least 1 difficulty
- (1.5%) Elaborate on how they attempt to solve it / Analyze the cause of difficulty
- (optional, 0-2.5%) Any feedback or suggestions to this assignment or spec.
- At least 1 meaningful suggestions or constructive feedback to the assignment or spec.
