This is a great way to sync up and swap ideas for initial project milestones and research activities.

Subject: Syncup call: review contribution proposals and technical issues

All:

We propose setting up an initial Sumatra project sync-up call next week to review near term contribution plans and discuss outstanding technical issues .
If you are interested in attending this call, reply to this thread indicating which of the following proposed dates/time you prefer: Nov 13 8-10am PST or Nov 14 8-10am PST; we will choose the date that gather the largest number of votes,.

In the spirit of seeding the discussion for this initial call, the AMD team got together and would like to propose the following initial milestone for Sumatra.

This proposed milestone involves moving enough of Aparapi's implementation down into the Project Lambda enabled JVM to allow Lambda enabled Aparapi demos/workloads to execute directly (no Aparapi.dll). Whilst this effort would constrain demos/examples to Aparapi's existing programming model constraints (parallel primitive arrays only) it would act as a 'tracer bullet' through the code base, allowing us to familiarize ourselves with the various major JVM components that we think will to impacted via a Sumatra implementation.

Maybe others might like to use this discussion thread to offer other milestone proposals which we could also discuss in the upcoming call.

Regards,

Christophe
