*Lab 1 Review
**Looked at the labs of students ssre005 and rbha033. Also looked at John's lab. Discussed mistakes in code and made conclusions about overall measurement methods.

**Conclusions from this lab exercise
***Can't trust intuition when timing code with modern processors
***To find program execution time, you cannot just add the times of the simpler parts.
***And finally you cannot simply put a number on addition time.
****Time depends on memory, processor, etc...

*Anything you want to know, like how to use gcc or emacs, put it up on the meeting agenda for the next meeting.
**GCC tip: Use the "-S" option to look at the assembly code generated by the compiler. e.g. gcc -S main.c
