Meeting with Prof

Yesterday, I met with Chris for a little extra help. I told him straight that I was stuck on the basic labs, and he was very patience and explained everything to me.

Some of the gaps in my knowledge was filled, but as I read more codes I think I still need more understanding.

Lab 3
Using a infinite loop to wait for user input, jump into subroutines of preset graphic display of each digit. That is the base algorithm for lab 3.
Three general registers are available for use, but I wasn't aware of different memory locations for value storage. After the extra lecture with Chris, I know how to access them.

With that making a functional lab solution is not complicated, but It would take a very long time because of all the comparing needed for each digit.

My goal would be finding a better solution to simplify the code

Course Project Stage 2 Introduction

Issue has arrived!! Since I pushed my work for SPO600 till today because of my other focuses in other school works (my own fault), an issue has arrived. Today unexpectedly all the school remote machine rejected all my attempt for connection. A few days ago, there was an email send from the professor talking about all the machines are going through mass restarts on Friday. We were told to expect Aarchie and Israel might continue to be unavailable even after restart because the restart is done remotely. But today I wasn't able to connection to Bbetty and Xerxes as well which are the only other machines I have access to. Now, I have no choice but resort to one of my last resorts. I'll have to enable the windows subsystem for Linux on my laptop and work from there. Since I don't use my laptop for anything other than school work, this will keep my bench marking and profiling errors to minimum. My laptop system type is 64-bit OS, this would cover at least the Aarch64 part of

After a series of installing different stuff under my own machine, i was finally able to rebuild stage 1 under my laptop.
