Meeting Recording



SIG Growth

Steve Geist: Agree we need growth. Otherwise we have no choice but to limit output

Andy W: We need to expand upwards and downwards. We need to have consensus as to what the key common parts are. We also need to colloborate with other segment groups

 - Kanta: Yes we already leverage all the work that is done in Enterprise. for example the ERP

Hirai San: Agree for suggestion for SIG growth. Supporting openHPC. We assigned Mr. Okamoto as the representative member to collaborate with the OpenHPC community.

Joel : Outstanding Issues in a nutshell is compiler performance. Whatever we can do to bring up the performance of compiler is greatly needed. ICC is way ahead of GCC and LLVM
