Minutes
- Status Reports
- Next builds, releases (4.0.x, 5.0)
- 4.0.4 was announced, but Greg sees a timeout problem, so we will do a 4.0.5 release probably Friday evening before SC10. 4.0.4 will suffice if you don't see the error.
- Wyatt: The LiveDVD will have 4.0.4
- 5.0 (Indigo) builds
- M3 is Nov. 12.
- Some of 5.0 is broken now (PBS). Would like for M2 build to have it fixed.
- Code out of HEAD works. Al will run BOF demo from CVS HEAD.
- Greg will check in changes to have a good build. Can't build the RDT server jar from the workspace. Chris says jar.dest file will build jar for testing. Wiki tells how to copy a jar for running from development workspace (in 4.0 environment setup instructions)
- Al: SDM must be selected on Debug tab even if not doing a debug config. Will look at fixing this in ptp.launch plugin. It could be checked that SDM and sdm executable are there only after a debug config is launched - no need to check before that. So a simple Run config should be able to run without it.
- 4.0.4 was announced, but Greg sees a timeout problem, so we will do a 4.0.5 release probably Friday evening before SC10. 4.0.4 will suffice if you don't see the error.
- RDT and Remote status (Chris)
- Fixing bugs. Fixes in both HEAD and 4.0 branch.
- Beth asked about editor fixes to have same function as local CDT editor (greyed out inactive code, hover help in editor, etc) - TODOs incl. Task tags and hovers. Greying out inactive code requires too much interaction with server. Semantic highlighting as well (won't be done)
- Dstore server error rc=-1 - probably because remote dstore server shut down before Indexer? There are a few issues with stopping/closing connections.
- 5.0 PTP-Photran build issue: Al says PLDT doesn't compile against Photran. Need to check out Photran code - works against CVS HEAD.
- Photran depends on CDT 7.
- CDT 8 was dependent on Eclipse 3.7 but that was backed out. We should cut PTP over to 3.7 sometime soon - Jeff requests not till current semester is over. Student are all on Eclipse 3.6.
- Resource Managers
- Scalability improvements to the PTP model being done (protocol changing so that first thing sent over is an XML description)
- Wyatt asks if a list of Resource Managers supported by PTP is listed anywhere with what versions we support. Will put in release notes on Wiki. Wyatt will make a table and solicit details from other resource manager supporters.
- Greg has a request to support OpenMPI 1.5 - will go into HEAD (PTP 5.0)
- PLDT (Beth)
- No new news: more remote-izing next
- ETFw, other tool integrations (GEM, PPW, etc.)
- Wyatt: No ETFw remote-izing done yet. grant $ means will be starting on this soon. After SC10.
- Beth: has done some work on remote-izing ETFw Feedback view.
- SC10 is next week
- Jay plans a meeting of the SI2 grant (Workbench for HPC) at SC10.
- Greg plans a PTP scaling meeting too.
- PTP Tutorial Sunday; BOF Wednesday evening
- Exhibits:
- IBM booth- PTP (Beth/Greg); NNSA/ARC booth- TAU (Wyatt); NCSA - Photran (Jeff); NCSA - Jay (PTP etc.) - need to schedule some times at the NCSA booth so we can advertize at PTP tutorial.
- Photran
- Student groups making good progress on 6-10 new Fortran refactorings.
- GEM (Alan)
- Some components are now remote-enabled (not checked in yet)
- Working on underlying dynamic verification tools.
- ISP is doing more default checks too.
- Tutorial Monday AM at SC - includes GEM (Scalable... with LLNL and Dresden). Alan will demo GEM.
- Alan is in ACM student competition too. Will list GEM SC10 involvement on ptp-dev mailing list, can add to PTP tutorial slides too.
- Next builds, releases (4.0.x, 5.0)
- Next meeting - December 14, 2010
