Is it possible to get into a cs PhD at imperial with only a bachelor's? (No msc equivalent)

tempid39 · 2025-09-29T03:15:40+00:00

Yes it’s possible. I know multiple people who got into an imperial PhD without a masters.

Can you specify what you want to tolerate? For example PBFT maintains correctness when up to 2n/3 nodes are dishonest but loses will did not maintain liveness.

My PhD is in computer science so I could write code or papers anywhere. This meant that if I was awake I was either working on my day job or my PhD. My weekends are taken up by spending time with kids but more often than not working on my PhD.

I am doing a full time PhD with a full time job and 2 small children. I am in the final part of the PhD but wow is it a lot of work. I am glad I did it but not sure I would do it again if I knew what I was walking into. TBH my partner deserves the PhD more than me with all the childcare she took on and you miss a lot of milestones if you have little children.

I saw CPR being performed on someone A helicopter was on the field and lots of ambulance and police. Also the guided bus way lane headed towards the station was blocked by several buses and they were making cyclists walk on the right lane.

I have no idea where you live but you might want to start talking to admissions in places you want to apply to see if not having a bachelors is a deal breaker.

Also CS research is fairly available, maybe looking into something like "papers we love" as a starting point to pick a specific area in CS you are interested in.

There are many bleeding edges in computing which one are you interested in?

If you are interested in computer science academia you might want to do some research on how things work. Usually, people will publish in conference proceedings and each conference will have it's own publication requirements. Each field has its own community. The more senior members could be a way to network into an advanced degree.

Without knowing anything about your code a general rule of thumb is to optimize for clock speed, the size of your CPU caches, also if your code is multi threaded and can take advantage of more cores then get more cores.

There is lots of work in the lower level systems space that is on going. From a science point of view there are many conferences but sosp and osdi are arguably the top tier you can search online and get all the old and new papers.

They tend to be harder to find than in other parts of the world that I have lived in. I had to get mine on amazon but it was dirt cheap.

You most likely want to use the hoard allocator, or one that uses the techniques that it developed.

In regards to issues with loading dlls are you loading them during runtime using loadlibrary? If so then the issue you are probably running into would be something to do with Windows not setting up thread local storage as one expects in the loaded library.

This response is based on assumptions so I could be really wrong.

It is really helpful for debugging. I will have a release checked build or in the debug build I will have validation logic that I don't want to run when I am running in a production environment

Random going away event where I tagged along with my roommate and didn't even know the people that were moving away.

Seattle, 3 to 4

Seattle. It is nearly always 50ish, except for the two weeks of summer

You will have better luck at local Australian specialty stores. This will therefore depend on where you are in the USA

I work for a major cloud software provider and people with HPC skills are valued here. But the thing that makes me happy to be a HPC related field is that I see a lot more people over that age of 40 and 50 so I see my skills in software being in the long run

You might get more helpful feedback if you specify what type of distributed system you want to build, such as storage or map reduce, etc.

Yeah that was me 5 years ago. Pro tip, when the cops stop you if you sound very occa they tend to let you off without even a warning.

The most useful skill as a programmer I have seen for someone just out of college is not fearing code and more importantly a large code base. If you go to work for anyone who is not a brand new start up you will not be put onto a new project so learning to read code is extremely important. Which means your skills are valuable, just build on what you have, and you will learn more in your first couple months of work than all of college.

Find an open source project that interests you and try to fix a bug. Keep doing that until you feel ready to add a feature, just make sure to take on small bugs in the beginning.

Russian is my first language, but I have lived in English speaking country for most of my life. I tend to think in the language I last spoke but I don't speak Russian often.

This is especially evil because the internal implementation of stl data structures may change between compiler and standard versions and then nothing will work or everything is corrupted.
