It was as hectic as things can get. I have Fridays off and hence I have 3 day weekends. From Thursday night to Monday morning, the time just flew by.
I have been sleeping at 5am or 6am on all the nights and have been getting up without getting barely any sleep. Eating a meal once a day and living on coke and snacks all the time.
My advisor is working on a paper and I am providing some content for it and have had to work with loads of new apps and new stuff that I have had no idea about. I have been experimenting for about 10 days now with that stuff and have come up with nothing worth putting in a paper.
Other than that I have to work on the assignment for the Parallel Processing course. This is something that is again new to me and I have googled but not found any good tutorial on MPICH. The worst part is that the cluster that I am working on doesn’t run a debugger (I have looked and found nothing). The multiple processes keep dying for no apparent reason and I have spend hours trying to figure it out.
Then there is the tension of preparing for job interview… well the interview will come after I app.. which is another thing I haven’t started yet.
Bottom line… I worked my ass of and at the end of it, I feel like nothing significant was really achieved. Pisses me off completely…. x-(
