Attendees: Walt Rudd (Oregon Advanced Computing Institute) Joel Williamson (Convex) Leslie Scarbourgh (IBM) Bruce Leasure (KAI) The initial discussion at the meeting was how to bring the work of the committee to a conclusion. The participants in the committee have decreased; the public interest in the work as decreased. Alternatives discussed included swithching directives and syntax; passing syntax binding onto language standard committees; converting proposed language binding definitions to technical reports; dissolve X3H5 committee after handling public comment from the model document; follow up with Fortran and C language committees. Walt Rudd talked to J. Hill (x3h5 rep on OMC). He recommends the technical report avenue. Need a revised project proposal to do this. He recommends that we have joint meetings with the language committees. The X3H5 committee should request conversion to maintenance mode. Leslie: Proposal: change language bindings to technical reports. Joel seconds. Passes 4-0 We decided to target March 1994 as the last meeting: - Model document public review comments will be addressed (Comments are due by Feb 26,1994.) - Project proposals for Fortran and C bindings will be changed from standard definitions to technical reports - Fortran technical report will define a directive and a syntax binding. The directives are viewed as an interim solution; the syntax is a recommendation for the X3J3 (Fortran) committee to include as part of a future Fortran language standard. Target vote on final version of Fortran technical report 1/94. - C technical report will define a binding using a mixture of pragmas and syntax. The technical report will be a recommendation to the X3J11 (C) committee. Target vote on final version of C technical report 3/94. - Yet to be determined: what requirements for a "maintenance mode" committee are?; will there be a need to provide interpretations to model document? etc. ------------------------------------------------------------ Final Agenda: Minutes Status Strategy Model Edits Fortran Binding Barriers Array Notation as work sharing constructs Final Doc C Binding Wakker Comments Time Line --------------------------------------------------------- Accomplished: Fortran Binding -- Assorted cleanup of wording -- style of a technical report -- integration of directive binding C Binding -- work on functionality of PWHILE (documented in e-mail) Model -- approved small editorial changes suggested by ANSI editor (Passes 4-0) -- approved editorial changes suggested by Leslie/Bruce (Passes 4-0) --------------------------------------------------------- Todo: - change the projects to technical reports - answer questions about what is maintenance mode - be ready to convert to maintenance mode at the march meeting - announce model/bindings comp.sys.{parallel,fortran,c} - e-mail out minutes and c_pwhile mapping - fortran binding integrate examples clean up edits e-mail to all letter ballot for "is the technical report done?" - c binding clean up explanation of extended constructs in terms of more basic constructs -clean up answers to willem's comments -indexes -align poly externs with instance parallel ---------------------------------------------------------------- March Meeting -- respond to public comments on the model, approve the binding technical reports switch to maintenance mode Date: March 30 to April 1, 1994 Location: St.Louis MO Sponsor: Kuck & Associates -- Bruce Leasure
