  1. The Role of Version Control System in Course Organization Ivan Milentijevic, Vladimir Ciric Faculty of Electronic Engineering University of Nis Serbia and Montenegro

  2. Outline • Version Control Systems • Course on Algorithms and architectures for dedicated computer systems • Course organization • The role of version control systems in course organization and evaluation of students’ work • Course site and usage of Version Control System • Project examples • Concluding remarks TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  3. Version Control Systems • Version Control Systems are systems for providing source control to hierarchical collections of source directories (repositories). • It is important to note that Version Control Systems are not a build system but rather a way to control disparate versions of code as it is developed over time. TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  4. CVS • Version control systemsare also called a CVS • CVS is a short term for Concurrent Versions System, network-transparent program that allows developers to keep track of different development versions of source code. • CVS does not maintain multiple versions of source code files but keeps a single copy and records of all of the changes that are made. When a developer wants a particular development version of a file, CVS will reconstruct that version based on its records. TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  5. Topology of Version Control System TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  6. Popularity of CV Systems • CVS systems are widely used in both software and hardware development companies. • Now days it is hard to imagine company that develops hardware or software not to use some kind of Version Control System. TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  7. Algorithms and architectures for dedicated computer systems - course prerequisites - Semester IX: 2+2+1 • Main topics: • Mapping Algorithm onto the Architecture • Hardware synthesis • Hardware description • Special purpose data paths • DSP applications • Outcomes (be familiar with): • Hardware synthesis • ASIC, ASIP, FPGA • Simulation, testing and verification TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  8. Course organization • Lectures(2 classes per week) • Hardware synthesis • Hardware description • Special purpose data paths • DSP applications • Oral exercises(2 classes per week) • VHDL – Hardware Description Language • Syntax • Description of special purpose data paths • Description of DSP applications • Description of control units and interfaces • Labs(1 class per week) • Aldec Active-HDL and Xilinx development environment • VHDL description, simulation, synthesis and implementation • Data paths • Memory modules • Controllers and interfaces TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  9. Students’ projects • Outcome of course is to teach students to do description, testing and verification, synthesis and implementation of dedicated architectures, data paths, controllers and interfaces in Aldec’s and Xilinx’s development environments. • Students’ knowledge is evaluated through projects. Typically average student spend a month or month and a half working in project. • Projects are devoted to special purpose data paths, dedicated coprocessors and DSP applications.

  11. Version Control System Comparison • Repository Operations • Atomic Commits • Files and Directories Moves or Renames • File and Directories Copies • Remote Repository Replication • Propagating Changes to Parent Repositories • Repository Permissions • Changesets' Support • Tracking Line-wise File History • Features • Ability to Work only on One Directory of the Repository • Tracking Uncommited Changes • Per-File Commit Messages • Technical Status • Documentation • Ease of Deployment • Command Set • Networking Support • Portability • User Interfaces • Web Interface • Availability of Graphical User-Interfaces. • License BerliOSThe Open Source Mediator http://better-scm.berlios.de/comparison/comparison.html TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  12. Off-LAN access • Open source • Well documented • Web interface • Linux based • Permissions • Stable TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  13. Course site(http://L3.elfak.ni.ac.yu/algarh) • Course material • News and information • Tutorials (VHDL, CVS, etc.) • Project topics • CVS Web access TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.

  17. Concluding remarks • CVS as support makes communication between teaching staff and students much more easier and more frequent and brings better results. • Using CVS as course support students are prepared to be a part of a team! • They found it as interesting and useful experience TEMPUS project SCM-C015A05-SCG, Seminar on ECTS Implementation, Thursday, March 23rd, 2006.
