Don’t forget the reading group tomorrow.  Two quick questions about the papers being presented:

(1) What is the differnce between for-loops and while-loops in the roccc system?  If no difference, are for loops converted into while loops or the other way around?  If there is a difference, what is the major difference?

(2) Compared to ROCCC, what major philosophical difference is highlighted by the CHIMPs effort?

Hey Everybody,

The Governor is coming on Monday and will probably be visiting our lab. We need to clean up! Floors are going to be cleaned and we need to clear out the recycleables. Boxes with labels are fine but no food should be out. I will learn more at the department meeting at noon.

This is your reminder that we will have our first reading group today. Andy is presenting two interesting papers from ISCA that have direct bearing on our RCC Project. Please read the papers in advance and send me the answer to these two questions in direct email.

1) in the Saidi paper, how do they validate that their simulations are correct? to what degree is this scientifically sound? is the best one can do?

2) is the Rigel programming model closer to a message-passing model or a shared memory model?

For the group meeting, please reply to this announcement with your status report.

Thanks!

Ron
