| Re: [ptp-dev] PTP development |
| Mark, I would definitely encourage you to work with PTP rather than attempting to develop (yet) another set of infrastructure. With Eclipse, you gain an amazing amount of functionality that has taken literally hundreds of person-years to develop. We at PTP would welcome contributions to the static analysis infrastructure and would be happy to consider any design changes that might be required to accommodate your plans. As far as I'm aware, there are groups at IBM, ORNL, NCSA, UIUC, in Europe, and others, who are already, or are planning to, contribute to PTP. I expect the project to get very busy over the coming years.

Currently we are looking at static source code analysis techniques for discovering parallelizable code. During my investigation of current work in this area I came across the Parallel Tools Platform for Eclipse, and one of the most intriguing parts (for us) was the functionality to analyze source code and perform concurrency analysis on it. |
