-== Announcements ==
-* Tamarin summit February 1st at Adobe – SF
 == Updates ==
-'''Jason (ActionMonkey)'''
-* Land ActionMonkey changes to mozilla-central.
-* Incremental marking
-* Thread safe
-* Performance number
-* tracking bug:
-* mozilla-central is the trunk in hg
-'''Steven'''
-* TT now building on linux
 '''Moh (Vtune)'''
+* code now works fine despite short period of being broken
+* uploaded installation and configuration guide on wiki
+* is there an area of performance where we'd like Moh's team to focus?
+** edwin: interpreter
+** ACTION: Moh will send steven ##TBD## (readu30?)
+** ACTION: Moh will look into some hot loops and provide additional information
+*** is this loop related to double-byte characters not being processed efficiently? Steven would need more details to confirm.
-* jit profiling api
+'''Marsha'''
-* step 1
+* there are other performance tools available. could other tools be useful?
-** account: premier account,
+** we're most interested in tuning the interpreter and the generated code.
-** request: "JIT profiling API of VTUNE"
+** speed is a bigger issue than memory footprint for the interpreter
-** contact: Gary Carleton
+** what are the upper bounds of footprint?  we are targeting:
-* step 2 - shipped with vtune
+*** memory: 128K RAM
-* step 3 - talk about open source
+*** code: 100K
-'''Marsha (Instrumentation)'''
+'''Edwin (Tamarin-tracing)'''
+* Steven is continuing to work on bugs
+* Edwin is working on ##TBD## algorithm, which uses interpreter.cpp
+* There has been a lot of work on the spec, which is part of why there hasn't been a lot of development recently.
-* posted a patch for changes needed to invoke Vtune from TC
+'''Grayden'''
-* an update is coming
+* posted updates to mini-tracing patch
+** still slightly crashy but can run about half of the sunspider cases now -- getting better!
+* ACTION: Edwin will add an updated trace-tree patch to bugzilla later this week (txt patch is fine)
+* Steven suggests rebuilding with superwords turned off; this might inprove things.
-== Summit Topics ==
+= Tamarin Tech Summit, February 1, 2008 =
-* Vtune profiling
-* Code walkthrough of the JIT - what optimizations are applied (or not applied)
