Welcome Wade! And really glad to see
you on the list.
Two quick things... the first is that I'll be in Austin for Feb. 6-8 for a code sprint involving some of our technology projects @ UT-Austin. If you're available somewhere in there, I'd love to meet you in person? Also, I encourage you to consider coming to Science Day at EclipseCon in March (6-9) in Burlingame. We'll have quite a few people from the community present there, and plenty of interesting talks. Kind regards, Andrew On 19/01/15 14:34, Wade Walker wrote: Hello everyone, I actually started out using RCP to create engineering design automation (EDA) tools inside a large microprocessor company. I used it and Java OpenGL (JOGL) to create a 2D standard-cell placement application, which let engineers drag and drop cells into hierarchical bins to create cell placements that were more compact than those created by synthesis tools like Synopsys Design Compiler. My own research is in the area of computational fluid dynamics and elastodynamics. I used RCP and JOGL to make a front end for the simulator that implements the algorithm I described in http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0039999. I've found that Java and RCP are a good framework for this sort of research coding, because Java's garbage collection makes it easier to modify a program to test research ideas, without having to worry about whether the modifications might introduce memory leaks. My blog and tutorials that Philip mentioned below document the basics of my research simulator framework. At work, I'm currently involved in the Department of Energy's Fast Forward 2 program which aims to accelerate R&D for new "extreme-scale" computers, in collaboration with Cray and several U.S. national labs. This involves more old-school C/C++/OpenMP coding rather than Java, however :) -w -----Original Message----- From: science-iwg-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:science-iwg-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Philip Wenig Sent: Friday, January 16, 2015 1:34 AM To: science-iwg@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [science-iwg] RCP and JOGL Hi folks, recently, Wade Walker joined our mailing list. He helped me to track down a RCP/JOGL bug in Eclipse 4.5Milestone releases: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=457534 He has a lot of experience in using JOGL and published some tutorials: https://github.com/WadeWalker/com.jogamp.jogl https://github.com/WadeWalker/name.wadewalker.tutorial https://wadeawalker.wordpress.com Furthermore, he has written a fluid dynamics and elastodynamics simulator in RCP, which could be an interesting topic for some of us. So, Wade, if you'd like to, feel free to give a short introduction to your simulator.
