ARM64 and RISC-V (extensible) Assessment System.

areas is originally a fork from João Damas' Automatic Observation and (grade) Calculation for (subroutine) Operations tool. It is a tool to automate student's grading in the assignments done during the Microprocessor and Personal Computers course unit.

Differences with the original tool

To ease the communication between the backend server and the tool the output demanded changes. Output .txt and .csv files are now combined in a more complete .json file. Structure of the .zip input file is simplified. Unsupported data types such as long and double are now supported. A new input parameter - weight - is introduced.


Table of contents

1. Installation

Using Docker:

docker pull luist188/areas

2. Developing

To develop the tool you must setup a Docker development environment to ease the dependencies installation and setup an isolated environment.

  1. Build the Docker development image:

    docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t areas .
  2. Run the image with the shared folder:

    docker run -it -v $(pwd):/usr/app areas

Note: if you are running MacOS with the M1 (or superior) chip you must add --platform linux/x86_64 to docker build and docker run.

3. Running

  1. Place the input files inside any directory.
  2. Run the image with a shared volume pointing to the input directory: docker run -v input:destination -it luist188/areas (you can learn more about docker run usage here)
  3. Run the alias command (assure you are using /bin/bash) areas or run python main.py in the tool's source.

4. Usage

$ areas [-h] -sr SR -t T -sm SM [SM ...] [-gfd GFD] [-ffd FFD] [-grf GRF] [-tout TOUT] [-fpre FPRE]

  -ffd <directory>          path to the directory to store the grading for
    each submission                                                           [default:feedback] [string]
  -tout <timeout>           float timeout value                               [default:2.0] [float]
  -fpre <precision>         floating point threshold for comparing floating
    points in test cases                                                      [default:1e-6] [float]

5. File syntax and structure

5.1. Available data types

5.1.1. Primitive data types

  • int
  • long
  • float
  • double
  • char
  • chari (char represented as an unsgined intenger - similar to char but has to be used when printed characters are not ASCII characters)

5.1.2. Array data types

  • char*/string
  • array int
  • array long
  • array float
  • array double
  • array char
  • array chari

5.2. subroutines.yaml

The input file for the subroutine declaration has to follow a specific structure and syntax described as follows:

foo: 
  params: 
    - int
    - array char
    - array int
    - array int
  return: 
    - int
    - array int

bar: 
  params: 
    - long
  return: 
    - long

Each subroutine has an optional parameter to define the subroutine architecture, the syntax is as follows:

foo: 
  architecture: arm
  params: 
    - int
    - array char
    - array int
    - array int
  return: 
    - int
    - array int

By default, if the architecture parameter is omitted, the system will assume ARM64 as the subroutine architecture. The available architectures are the following:

  • arm - ARM64 architecture
  • riscv - RISC-V architecture

The subroutine name has to match the .s to test and is case insensitive. Thus, the subroutine foo or bar is going to check any .s file that matches its name case insensitive. All subroutines must contain an array of parameters, params, and an array of returns, return.

5.3. tests.yaml

The input file for the test cases declaration has to follow a specific structure and syntax described as follows:

bar:
  - inputs:
    - 6
    outputs: 
    - 36
    weight: 0.5
  - inputs:
    - 5
    outputs: 
    - 25
    weight: 0.5

The root declaration of a test case must match the name declared in the subroutines.yaml file. Test cases have an array of inputs that has a list of outputs and a test weight. The sum of the test weights must be 1.0.

5.4. submission.zip

The submission zip file must contain a .s file in its root. For example, for the subroutine foo and bar the zip structure should be as follows:

submission.zip
├── foo.s
└── bar.s

6. Results

For each submission file a .json file is created in the feedback directory with the same name of the .zip file. The file contains all information about compilation status and test cases. In addition, a simplified version of the result of all submissions is created in a result.json. The content of the files look as follows:

File submission.json

                "passed": true
            }
        ]
    }
]
