Overview
I worked closely with my manager to benchmark some technologies. This meant my work cycle followed research/ Learning on the topic; Editing/ writing code; testing/ collecting data; Doing a write-up. So my day-to-day task would be based on what stage of the cycle I was on.
Skills
I learned about some low-leveled systems I was previously unaware of. I also improved my understanding of how c is used at a low level.

Responsibilities
Yes as after I completed my coding task I have to perform some measurements and then write up about the experiment and what the results were. This will then be used as a comparison when the new versions of the technology come out in the future

Support & Guidance
My manager was very friendly and responsive when it came to questions. My task was broken down into steps that I would reconvene with my manager who would help me decide what to do next. I also received some help from other members of my team when my manager was unavailable.
