Spring 2006 Agenda

Please feel free to edit your agenda items. If you want to add an agenda item, go ahead but please let Rob Armstrong know. If it seems that your item has disappeared (and we didn't discuss it) look harder, it may have been rearranged into a different slot. If it still doesn't seem to be there, someone (probably Rob) deleted it by mistake. Let Rob know.

Newcomers to the CCA Forum are strongly encouraged to present a short introduction to their research and interests as they relate to the CCA.

I'm Having Problems Building the CCA Tools. Please Help!
David Bernholdt, ORNL

New users of CCA often need help, starting with building and installing the tools. Our current approach to supporting new users is inadequate because (a) users don't know where to go for help, and (b) it is too easy for user requests to fall through the cracks because everyone thinks someone else will respond. Here's a proposal for discussion.

Babel 0.99.0 (aka Babel 1.0rc1)
Gary Kumfert, LLNL

We are proud to announce the first release candidate for Babel 1.0. This release (formally version 0.99.0), is the first release to satisfy all the requirements negotiated in the Babel 1.0 release criteria, and is a nontrivial upgrade from the 0.11.x series. The parser is completely rewritten. Significant additions to SIDL have been made. The UC++ binding is promoted to the only C++ binding and the original (D)C++ binding is dropped. XML encoding has been tweeked. Command line behavior of the code generator has also been improved.
