Final grades are published on GR
Term papers were graded: You all did a good job!
The final grade gives equal weight to the three home assignments (together) and to the term paper.
Have a nice summer.

HW3 Q3 – Uniform consensus is required
In question 3 you are required to design an early-stopping algorithm for *uniform* consensus with crash failures (and not “regular” consensus as the assignment imply).
My apologies for the mistake,

The following tutorials+ HW2 small correction
The two following tutorials (18,25.5.11) are cancelled.
In the algorithm for question 4, t should replace f so there are t/k+1 rounds.

No tutorial tomorrow + HW1 small corrections
This is to remind you that teaching on Wednesday (23/3) is as in Sunday schedule, and therefore there is no tutorial.
Two small corrections for home assignment 1:
Q2 - in algorithm 2 initially both flags are false.
Q3 - prove that *n-1* registers must be read in the *entry code*.
A corrected version appears on the Assignments tab.
