Actually it would really help if the IBM team could tell us
why they are contributing it to PTP and what their vision is for the Cell
IDE community.
Thanks,
Doug.
Cool, thanks Craig. I can see Cell being useful for the
scientific community. But I'm trying to figure out if there is any separation
between the Cell IDE and IBM commercial interests. You did somewhat
confirm that you are an IBM customer and do fit on the commercial side. I
assume IBM, like most platform vendors, should be providing a
supported IDE as a part of their solution, no?
I think we get into a fuzzy area when a commercial vendor
contributes software that can only be used with their products. I have similar
concerns with the xlc integration with the CDT, BTW. I'll need to check up the
chain about that, assuming that's what this is. And, if the community fully
support this, it makes it harder for me to argue.
Cheers,
Doug.
The Cell architecture is a big component of Los Alamos' computing
vision. We have just purchased the 1 Petaflop Roadrunner machine and
are looking for ways to ease the transition for our developers. I'm a
member of a small team of neural scientists at LANL who are purchasing a
small Cell based cluster for code development. Our team is also using
Eclipse and PTP and the Cell IDE fits very nicely in the parallel space we
are working in.
Cheers,
Craig

I've added a comment on the bug. I'm just wondering
how the Cell IDE fits into the PTP mandate. And I'm wondering about the
community around the Cell IDE, i.e., who uses it, is there a community
outside of IBM commercial interests?

Greg,
I attached the necessary patches and the source
code for Cell IDE in the Eclipse bug #240243.
Please, let me know if there
is any issue.

Greg,
I opened Eclipse bug #240243 in order to contribute Cell IDE
source code to PTP.
I'll attach the necessary patches and
source code on the bug by the end of this week so that you and others
interested can take a look.
Best regards,
