CMSC416/616 Fall 25 (Parallel Computing)

Parallel Computing (CMSC416/CMSC616)

Programming Assignments

All assignments are posted before or at 11:59 PM on the dates below, and all deadlines are at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the day they are due.
You can submit assignments late only by one day for a 20% penalty, and we will not accept them beyond this automatic extension. This does NOT apply to extra credit assignments.
If you make multiple submissions on gradescope, we will grade the most recent one submitted before the submission site closes.

Note: If you need a longer extension because of a prolonged illness, you will need to provide a doctor's note. A self-signed note cannot be used for this.

We strongly suggest not to use vscode to login or scp files to zaratan. Read this for a detailed explanation.

If you get locked out of zaratan because of using vscode, this will not constitute an emergency for the zaratan admins or for the course staff, and will not be grounds for getting an extension on your programming assignments.
