[Swift-devel] LQCD meeting at Fermi

[Ian Foster]

Ben:

The question for me is whether they are invested, or just playing with it and finding things that are "wrong" not because they are serious problems but rather as excuses for them not to do more. (I've often experienced that.)

So I want to know if they are using it for real work or not. So far things don't look so good--as I understand things, they don't have a working program after what mus be 4-5 months talking to us (?).

Would also be good to have some definition of what is an acceptable 'real 
application problem', in terms of which programs are to be run on which 
datasets on what sized resource.
