[Gomp-discuss] The tree nodes ...

[Lars Segerlund]

 I have been reading Diego's paper this weekend, and It seem's like 
just the starting point we need, however we might want another set of 
tree nodes, as there are a couple of explicit attributes which openMP 
specifies which was not covered in their work.

 ( such as ATOMIC variables )

 Is there any toughts on the primitives needed, and how we should go 
about specifying the implementation we aim for ?

 I think that as soon as we have the tree form specified we can start 
work on all different parts, the parsing into the tree's, the 
implementation of the same, and the integration into the optimization 
and code generation routines.

 ( also want to vent my opinion that we should make the distinction 
between section running on the same machine and sections slated to 
target another cpu ).

 As for the discussion about HPC gnu initiative, I think that we can 
postpone that and rather work with the existing standards, such as 
Threading libraries and open MPI or PVM implementations, ( the last two 
in the future ), but what it actualizes is the need not to restrict 
ourself to much.

 In other words, what do we do now ?
