Fork the repo using the proper button, as shown below:

To be able to work on the project, you will need to clone it to the device.

Copy the path, as shown below:

Create a folder with your name and surname, then

mkdir ACA/<name>_<surname>
git clone <link copied from GitHub>

Go ahead and complete the excercises. When you’re ready to submit your changes, stage and commit your changes.

In the project root folder, type:

git add .
git commit -m "<comment to the changes>"
git push

In this way, your excercise implementations are saved in your personal GitHub profile.

In the excercise directory, create the build folder, launch the cmake command and compile the sources:

# Only the first time
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

# Every time you have to recompile
make
./<executable_name>

Add the following line to the main function in the source file:

std::cout << TM_host.duration() << ";" << TM_device.duration() << ";" << TM_host.duration() / TM_device.duration() << std::endl;

Then launch the benchmarking script in the build folder:

../../../utils/benchmark.sh <executable_name>

If you are using a Jetson board, make sure to set the power profile to max, typing:

sudo nvpmodel -m<n> # (The number may change, depending on the device, for TX2 <n>=0)
sudo jetson_clocks

To have a complete overview of the Jetson hardware status, type:

sudo jtop

If it isn't already installed, type:

sudo -H pip3 install -U jetson-stats
sudo systemctl restart jetson_stats.service
