Ketan is working on two power grid apps and had some minor questions 
about Coasters for Mihael.

Yadu is working on the multi-site test suite which is itself implemented 
as a Swift script.

Scott is looking at CUDA BLAS, OOPS, and mdproxy apps for GPU.

Justin added some minor new syntax in Swift/T. Made significant 
additions to the Swift/T web materials.  Provided Scott with an 
eigenvalue code based on BLAS compatible with our model for Swift/T and 
the GPU.  Lots of conversation with the RDCEP and APS app cases.  For 
RDCEP, now have a better sense of how to validate and compare the 
Swift/T implementation to the previous pure Fortran/MPI app.  For APS, 
have a better sense of overall workflow and some ideas on where to find 
concurrency to target with Swift/T.  Also working with Ketan on Swift 
storage access on the cloud, focusing on the Chirp experiments.

Tim is working on fixing up some remaining broken Swift/T tests.

Mihael is looking at some coasters data movement timeout errors reported 
by Yadu.

> o David outline strategy for swift command rework (esp. tc wildcards)
David is investigating pre-processing the Swift/K command line with 
Perl.  Mihael suggested some improvements to automatic app configuration 
without tc.data .

David will have more time shortly to work on this.

David is in touch with David Forero about this.

Done somewhere- Mihael will send Yadu and David the link.

Yadu has the coasters C client running.  Discussed a list of next steps 
with Justin, including wrapping the client in SWIG and running it from 
Swift/T.  Justin provided code samples for reference.

Ketan is doing this for the power grid app people.
