Monday:
Today when I arrived to work, after making copies of the appropriate .dll files, I uploaded my programs executable to the company’s local servers so that we could begin testing across computers. Upon the first test, we found that there was a problem with my code. I would later discover it was caused a common mistake made across our clients: to have blank .wav files. These messed with the readouts of the files which were used to make the program run in a loop until the right readout appeared. After I fixed this I moved on to the issue of running my program through a command call. I have never tried this in c++ and was not sure how to do it. Right now there are two possibles. Either do what I originally said I would do or port the command to Linux so that we can place the application directly on to the Linux based servers used at CMI. In the afternoon I went with the Tersheys to pick blackberries from the outskirts of a nearby park. When we got back we put most of them into a pie for that night.
Tuesday:
I arrived at work before anybody else. Not having a key, I had to wait outside for somebody else to arrive and open the doors. When I got inside I immediately started programming. My first discovery was that it was not possible to call a specific function in a .exe and so I gave up on option two from Monday immediately. My next option was to try and get it to run inside of the Linux server. I attempted this for about an hour and a half without success. I then tried a third option, to get the .exe to take in the arguments through the actual file that ran. I did not expect this option to work because I had already tried this option the day before. However, I found the proper way to call arguments into the command prompt. Somehow the day before I had completely missed this when experimenting. After I figured this out I showed it to everyone and the entire team can now use my project. It is fully compatible with SM4, SM3, and SM2(Result of research and testing in the afternoon). I also started working on training our visual machine learning algorithm today. It is a 50 filter neural net that uses preference tunneling for efficiency.
Wednesday:
This was the last day of the workweek for me. We had the fourth of July off and so I had a four day weekend. I was planning on going camping with the Tersheys up in Big Sur until Sunday. At work that day I talked to David Cline, our local server manager about the integration of my program directly into the server. We brainstormed a couple of tests and ways that I could do this. When I wasn’t working on my code I was working on training the models for our Aleutian Tern AI.
Thursday/Weekend
We drove up to the campground on Wednesday night and in the morning we all went on a canoeing trip through the bay area. We later spent some time with some of Erica Tersheys undergraduate students. Then on friday, we went down to a good tide pool area where we found a number of different interesting animals including a giant crab.
