High Performance Embedded Computing
Software Initiative (HPEC-SI)

Next HPEC-SI meeting will be Dec 8/9 at Lincoln. Please RSVP to
kepner@ll.mit.edu. I know December is a tough month because of vacation
schedules, so please take advantage of the telecon option. Also, please
look for your name in the agenda below and let me know if can't present.
If you are presenting, please e-mail your slides (or other material)
bill.ballard@gtri.gatech.edu and me so that we can get them on the
website before the meeting.

The main goals of the meeting will be:
-Review demos/evaluations [LMCO, Rome, SPAWAR, MITRE]
-Develop a list of additional functions required
for the parallel VSIPL++ implementation [Cain/Paavola]
-Review FPGA API Goals/Requiremens and Sample App (Vai/Leeser)
-Review IO interfaces of existing FPGA libraries
[Mercury, Cray, SGI]

Regards. -Jeremy
