CQoS:10-12-2007

The BOF agenda included:

• We reviewed new performance metadata formats that were coordinated by PERI
• We briefly discussed specific requirements for new performance database capabilities
• We defined preliminary component interfaces for database query and management (C++ and SIDL)
  • Complete C++ interfaces for managing data and computing outcomes (based on cperfdmf)
  • SIDL wrappers for selected methods from cperfdmf (ANL)
  • Application focus: combustion (Jaideep Ray), quantum chemistry (Joe Kenny)

Next CQoS group telecon: Dec 6 (Thu), 9am PT / 12 ET

Preliminary interfaces that resulted from discussion:

class Parameter {
   void setComparator(const Comparator&);
   Comparator& getComparator();
}

class ParameterSet {
}

class Comparator {
/* Comparison operations between parameters */
}

class Outcome {
}

vector<TrialID> getMatchingTrials(const ParameterSet& lower, const ParameterSet& upper);

void storeOutcomes(Outcome outcomes[]);
