C Programming

"These notes are part of the UW Experimental College course on Introductory C Programming. They are based on notes prepared (beginning in Spring, 1995) to supplement the book The C Programming Language, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, or K&R as the book and its authors are affectionately known. (The second edition was published in 1988 by Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-110362-8.) These notes are now (as of Winter, 1995-6) intended to be stand-alone, although the sections are still cross-referenced to those of K&R, for the reader who wants to pursue a more in-depth exposition." C is a low-level programming language that provides a deep understanding of how a computer's memory and hardware work. This knowledge can be valuable when optimizing apps for performance or when dealing with resource-constrained environments.C is often used as the foundation for creating cross-platform libraries and frameworks. Learning C can allow you to develop libraries that can be used across different platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop environments.

DAGMan for orchestrating complex workflows on HTC resources (High Throughput Computing)
0
DAGMan (Directed Acyclic Graph Manager) is a meta-scheduler for HTCondor. It manages dependencies between jobs at a higher level than the HTCondor Scheduler.
It is a workflow management system developed by the High-Throughput Computing (HTC) community, specifically for managing large-scale scientific computations and data analysis tasks. It enables users to define complex workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). In a DAG, nodes represent individual computational tasks, and the directed edges represent dependencies between the tasks. DAGMan manages the execution of these tasks and ensures that they are executed in the correct order based on their dependencies.
The primary purpose of DAGMan is to simplify the management of large-scale computations that consist of numerous interdependent tasks. By defining the dependencies between tasks in a DAG, users can easily express the order of execution and allow DAGMan to handle the scheduling and coordination of the tasks. This simplifies the development and execution of complex scientific workflows, making it easier to manage and track the progress of computations.
Regular Expressions
0
Regular expressions (sometimes referred to as RegEx) is an incredibly powerful tool that is used to define string patterns for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation. Regular Expressions are used in search engines, in search and replace dialogs of word processors and text editors, and text-processing Linux utilities such as sed and awk. They are supported in many programming languages, including Python, R, Perl, Java, and others.
