=== PTP status & 1.0 release plans ===
+
=== Introductions and areas of interest ===
  
PTP is currently at RC4. Plan to release 1.0 on Thursday (3/16) or Friday (3/17).
+
''Absoft:''
  
The consensus was to plan for a 1.X release. This will include minor new features (such as OpenMP support), but the next major release will still be 2.0
+
Interested in tool chain integration for their Fortran compiler and providing FX2 support in the parallel debugger.
  
=== Version 2.0 planning ===
+
''Cray''
  
Need to start putting together a 2.0 development plan. It is anticipated that this release will coincide with the 2007 Callisto simultaneous release.
+
Exploring the possibility of using Eclipse with Cray development tools.
  
Current plans will include the following new features:
+
''Intel''
  
* generic support for job schedulers
+
Interested in integration of IDB with parallel debugger.
* remote services
+
* automator (scripting) services
+
 
+
'''Action: Other participants wanting to include new features in 2.0 should email them to the ptp-dev mailing list.'''
+
 
+
=== Other project status ===
+
  
 
''IBM''
 
''IBM''
  
# OpenMP tools: may be able to demonstrate at EclipseCon.
+
Contributed the MPI development tools to the PTP project. Interested in extending functionality of MPI tools and providing advanced debugging support.
# Summer student starting soon.
+
# Bill Chung moving on to other (IBM) projects.
+
 
+
Don asked about coding conventions for their development work. Eclipse coding conventions can be found [http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Development_Conventions_and_Guidelines here].
+
  
 
''U of Oregon''
 
''U of Oregon''
  
Finished initial integration of TAU with the PTP. Demonstration video available on the [http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/tau/home.php TAU web site].
+
Interested in integrating their Tuning and Analysis Utilities (TAU) with Eclipse PTP.
  
 
''LANL''
 
''LANL''
  
Summer student starting the week after EclipseCon. Craig has been working on constant replacement refactoring for Fortran.
+
Focussing on the core parts of PTP: runtime support and parallel debugger. Also interested in Fortran language integration and providing advanced language features such as refactoring.
  
=== EclipseCon planning ===
+
=== Intro to the Eclipse Foundation & committer process ===
  
Please attend Greg's talk on Tuesday at 3:15pm and Beth's demo on Wednesday at 2:00pm. We will also hold a BOF, probably on Wednesday, but depending on availability/timing.
+
Greg provided a brief overview of the Eclipse Foundation, its structure and objectives. He also described the process for becoming an Eclipse committer, and the rights and obligations of committers. Beth and Bill discussed their exeperiences from an IBM perspective.
  
'''Action: Beth to email times/places to ptp-dev.'''
+
=== PTP status & 1.0 release plans ===
'''Action: Please email slides to Greg if you want to be included in his talk!'''
+
  
BOF format:
+
PTP is currently at RC2. Status of components as follows:
  
* overview of PTP and progress
+
* FDT - ready, 1 outstanding bug
* updates from various projects (IBM and UO, others?)
+
* MPI development tools - ready, some minor issues to be fixed
* demos
+
* Runtime - cleanup, some functionality still being added
 +
* Debugger - functionality complete
  
PTP demo:
+
A licensing issue was discovered with the debugger. This will necessitate re-implementing a component which will delay the release.
  
* Beth will basically follow the format of the PTP help, plus give a demo of MPI tools.
+
Packaging is still an issue. Java plugins are ok, but a decision on how to package runtime/debugger components still being made. Current thinking is to target a single OpenMPI version and a small number of architectures: Linux & MacOSX.
* Greg will try and arrange a real cluster, otherwise demo will just be on standalone machine
+
  
=== SC06 tutorial ===
+
Currently aiming for Dec 24 release.
  
Agreed to revamp SC05 tutorial proposal, and extend to full day.
+
'''Action: Greg to update release plan.'''
 +
 
 +
=== Planning for PTP 1.1 ===
 +
 
 +
To begin the planning process for 1.1, various organizations outlined the areas that they will be focussing on in the next 6-12 month time-frame.
 +
 
 +
''LANL''
 +
 
 +
# Remote services, such as build/launch/debug, that will allow PTP to be used on a different machine from the parallel machine running the jobs.
 +
# Resource managent: providing an interface (UI/API) to job schedulers that will allow resource requests and monitoring/notification of allocation status.
 +
# Parallel debugger enhancements including: scalability, new UI features, and simplifying integration with other backend debuggers (non-gdb).
 +
# Runtime integration: providing standard interfaces to simplify integration with other runtime/monitoring/resource allocation systems.
 +
 
 +
''IBM''
 +
 
 +
# OpenMP tools, similar to those provided for MPI
 +
# XLF/XLC tool chain integration
 +
# MPI data type support
 +
# OpenRTE and remote build issues
 +
# Replay/post mortem debugging support
 +
# Fortran MPI development tools
 +
 
 +
''U of Oregon''
  
We will need help preparing and delivering the tutoral. Also, it would be very useful to have people assisting the attendees during the tutorial. The more the better.
+
# Additional areas for integration of TAU with PTP
 +
# Interfaces
 +
# Conversion of some exising tools to Java
  
Possible logistics include:
+
''Absoft''
  
* providing laptops to attendees (requires sponsor and a lot of setup time)
+
# Integration of the Absoft Fortran complier with the Eclipse Fortran tool chain
* creating a bootable disk with all the required software
+
* using whatever laptops the attendees bring along
+
  
'''Action: Beth to check tutorial submission deadline.'''
+
'''Action: Greg to develop planning document and post to web.'''
