So I've checked in code (in both the library and compiler) that automatically generates adaptation triggers based on the specifics of the application and system. I did a quick test and it does, in fact, generate different triggers for different hardware platforms, so that was a nice sanity check.

I've also now officially put all of the code under the GPL.

I'm going to spend the next few days on getting some of the paper up-to-date, and then I will start to tackle the smart mapping issue. With those two features on the books, the system will be pretty powerful. We will automatically generate policies to efficiently adapt resources to handle changes in workload based on your specific application and hardware platform. I think that is pretty powerful, but yes, I'm biased.

New versions of both the Lagniappe compiler and library are up. I have added basic support for an architecture that supports adaptation. Also, application programmers now have access to the mutex implementation provided by the system programmer. We are starting the final several week push towards NSDI.

The system can now actually process packets. Now the focus is on getting some basic monitoring and adaptation running. I hope to get some executable versions posted on the webpage soon. Of course, code can be checked out of the repository at anytime.
