You will be working with a partner for this project, you specify your partner in your
readme file. This specification is subject to change at anytime for additional clarification.
For this project, you and a partner will be implementing a virtual machine threading API
in either C or C++. Your virtual machine will be tested on the CSIF machines. You
must submit your source files, readme and Makefile in a zip or tar.gz file to smartsite
prior to the deadline.
You will be provided a machine abstraction upon which you will be building the thread
scheduler. The virtual machine will load the “applications” from shared objects that
implement the VMMain function. The virtual machine will need to support multiple user
space preemptive threads. The virtual machine mutex API provides synchronization
mechanism and file access is provided through the file API.
Threads have three priority levels low, medium, and high. Threads are created in the dead
state and have and have state transitions as shown below.
A makefile has been provided that compiles the virtual machine as long as you provide
your code as VirtualMachine.c or VirtualMachine.cpp. It will create the virtual machine
call vm. The applications can be built by making the apps with make apps. New apps
can be built by adding a C or C++ file in the apps directory and adding
$(BINDIR)/filename.so to the Makefile apps line dependencies.
A working example of the vm and apps can be found in /home/cjnitta/ecs150. The vm
syntax is vm [option] appname [appargs]. The possible option for vm is -t; -t specifies the
tick time in millisecond. By default this is set to 100ms, for debugging purposes you can
increase these values to slow the running of the vm. When specifying the application
name the ./ should be prepended otherwise vm may fail to load the shared object file.
The machine layer is implemented using a cooperative process that communicates using
the System V message queues. As such during your development your program may
crash prior to the closing of the message queues. In order to determine the message queue

with a call to ipcrm. You can read more about the System V IPC commands at:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ipcs.1.html
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ipcrm.1.html
The function specifications for both the virtual machine and machine are provided in the
subsequent pages.
You should avoid using existing source code as a primer that is currently available on the
Internet. You must specify in your readme file any sources of code that you or your
partner have viewed to help you complete this project. All class projects will be
submitted to MOSS to determine if pairs of students have excessively collaborated with
other pairs. Excessive collaboration, or failure to list external code sources will result in
the matter being transferred to Student Judicial Affairs.

MachineFileWrite – Writes to a file in the machine abstraction.
Synopsys
#include “Machine.h”
typedef void (*TMachineFileCallback)(void *calldata, int result);
void MachineFileWrite(int fd, void *data, int length,
TMachineFileCallback callback, void *calldata);
Description
MachineFileWrite() attempts to write the number of bytes specified in by length into the
location specified by data to the file specified by fd. The fd should have been obtained by
a previous call to MachineFileOpen(). The actual number of bytes transferred will be
returned in the result parameter when the callback function is called. Upon failure the
result will be less than zero. The calldata parameter will also be passed into the callback
function upon completion of the write file request. MachineFileWrite() should return
immediately, but will call the callback function asynchronously when completed.
Return Value
N/A

MachineFileSeek – Seeks in a file in the machine abstraction.
Synopsys
#include “Machine.h”
typedef void (*TMachineFileCallback)(void *calldata, int result);
void MachineFileSeek(int fd, int offset, int whence,
TMachineFileCallback callback, void *calldata);
Description
MachineFileSeek() attempts to seek the number of bytes specified in by offset from the
location specified by whence in the file specified by fd. The fd should have been obtained
by a previous call to MachineFileOpen(). The actual offset in the file will be returned in
the result parameter when the callback function is called. Upon failure the result will be
less than zero. The calldata parameter will also be passed into the callback function upon
completion of the seek file request. MachineFileSeek() should return immediately, but
will call the callback function asynchronously when completed.

MachineFileClose – Closes a file in the machine abstraction layer.
Synopsys
#include “Machine.h”
typedef void (*TMachineFileCallback)(void *calldata, int result);
void MachineFileClose(int fd, TMachineFileCallback callback,
void *calldata);
Description
MachineFileClose() attempts to close the file specified by fd. The fd should have been
obtained by a previous call to MachineFileOpen(). The result parameter when the
callback function is called will be zero upon success; upon failure the result will be less
than zero. The calldata parameter will also be passed into the callback function upon
completion of the file closure request. MachineFileClose() should return immediately, but
will call the callback function asynchronously when completed.
