Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   You should make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts are due. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  Please do not submit attachments unless requested.

Simulate the functioning of a network interface. An interface has a MAC address (a String). Computers (threads) send ethernet frames to the network interface input which is a waiting queue. Computers send frames every 1 second. Each frame contains a message and a destination address.

The network interface controller (thread) gets the frame from the queue and checks if the destination address is the same with the network card address. If they are they are different the packet is dropped. If they are the same the controller displays on the screen “Frame with message was accepted. Every 5 seconds the controller outputs on the screen statistics : how many frames were accepted, how many were dropped.

In main test the program with 100 computers, each sending 10 frames and a network interface card. Solve the concurrent access to shared resources using objects lock, wait and notify.

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric Python packages. Pandas is one of those packages, and makes importing and analyzing data much easier. Pandas builds on packages like NumPy and matplotlib to give you a single, convenient, place to do most of your data analysis and visualization work. In this python data science tutorial, you’ll use Pandas to analyze data on video game reviews from IGN, a popular video game review site. The data was scraped by Eric Grinstein, and can be found here. As you analyze the video game reviews, you’ll learn key Pandas concepts like indexing.

You need basic Python knowledge for this tutorial. If you understand if-else statements, while and for loops, lists, and dictionaries, you’re set to make the most out of this tutorial. You also need a code editor like Visual Code Studio, PyCharm, or Atom. In addition, while we walk through every line of code so you never feel lost, knowing basic pandas would help. Check out our pandas tutorial if you need a refresher.
