🧪 SIGMA Live Lab

System Reliability Live Lab

A system is running in front of you and its parts are failing on exponential clocks — the same ones you met in the chapter. Your job: work out which block is actually deciding whether the system survives, do something about it, and watch whether you were right. Plan on about 30 minutes.

It opens with your Cornell login. The lab lives on the course's own server, so signing in is how it knows who you are — there is no code and no password to type in. Each lab opens on the day we run it in class, so if you are looking ahead and it turns you away, that is expected — come back on the day. If it still turns you away during the session and you are on the roster, tell the instructor rather than hunting for a workaround.

In-personsubmit before you leave class.

Distancesubmit on the lab’s Canvas item — it carries the deadline; if it shows none, submit before the next class session.
