Hi all,

From today's meeting minutes the following priorities were set for the
development of pcenv:

1. Make an official release of what we have now, instead of just
snapshot releases.
2. Try to improve integration performance, by using CVODE from the
SUNDIALS project.
3. Investigate the possibility of getting Mac OSX support - Intel
only to start with.
4. Get editing support for MathML and the CellML structure working.
5. Add CellML Metadata support to the backend, and editing support
for this to the UI.

I'm just wondering if 2 is more important than 1?

From feedback so far, the performance of pcenv is very poor compared to
other tools. There is currently (to my knowledge) no firm idea if this
is due to the underlying technology being used by pcenv, or simply due
to the numerical integrators being used not being as good as what most
people are currently using.

Seems it would be good to address this question now, because if using
something like CVODE still results in the same poor performance then I
think some serious thinking needs to be done about the underlying
technology before an official release of pcenv should be made. Hopefully
plugging CVODE in will result in comparable performance - in which case
it would then seem a good time to make an initial official release.


David.
