Hi Group,
Hi Andre!
Well, here we are really: the proposal is following:
P1) get rid of the task factory (there seems no need for it) P2) allow tasks which do run() on creation P3) allow tasks which do NOT run() on creation
Agree!
Questions:
Q1) any comments to the Boston discussion? I hope I reflected that correctly... fine
Q2) are there any drawbacks by introducing 4a or 4b, apart from the additional number of calls? I don't think so
Q3) Are the advantages (simplicity for most usages, powerfull for bulk operations and others) good enough to introduce 4a or 4b? Yes! advantages: a) simpler -- no more factories b) more powerful -- matches e.g. GridRPC requirements
Q4) You like 4a or 4b better?
4a!
Q5) Any comments to 4a1, 4a2 or 4a3? (not part of the Strawman!)
4a2 has inconsistent syntax. I prefer 4a3, and also 4a1
Please answer before November 10th: firstly, we would like to finish the task model soon, in order to get the Strawman stabilizwed before GGF16; secondly, we would like to come to a decision during the F2F meeting at SuperComputing in Seattle (November 12-18).
