| [tools-pmc] PTP Move to Tools |
|
Hey gang, Still no minutes from John (sigh…) One of the things we talked about was moving the Parallel
Tools Project (PTP) from Technology to Tools. PTP, for those who don’t
know, is building a development environment to support applications that run on
big iron super computers such as you would find on www.top500.org. They are truly testing the
limits of Eclipse’s scalability, especially on debug where they end up debugging
thousands of processes at a time. PTP currently reuses a lot of the CDT to
support C development and Photran (which also reuses a lot of the CDT) for
Fortran. From their last conference call, they have a nice community growing of
mainly research based organizations, but with a smattering of commercial
vendors getting interested. At any rate, I’ve talked to them and they are
definitely interested in joining the Tools community and would be a great
addition to our portfolio. Can I get a semi-formal approval to proceed with
organizing the Move review. We can do a more formal approval once the Move
review slides are completed. Thanks, Doug Schaefer, QNX Software Systems Eclipse CDT Project Lead, Tools PMC Member |
