Syncup call: review contribution proposals and technical issues

[Frost, Gary]

Doug, 

It would indeed be very interesting to see this from a Graal perspective. I  have been mulling the idea of using Graal to prototype the proposed milestone (Aparapi functionality pushed down into the JVM).  I would like to hear how you think this might pan out.

I'd be interested in listening in on the call as we're also interesting in the compiling for the GPU in the Graal[1] project.

Either date or time work for me.

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.
