Hi Andra,
Thanks very much for your suggestions.
1. No problem, can be done today.
2. I don't know how the doc is generated and where should I put the
instructions, could you give me an example?
3. Do you mean to change configure.ac? Is it the only file to change?
4. We have stable releases on github for the two external tools, but a stable
package is not generated. Is a stable package would be better? I can try to
make it if it is necessary.
Best regards,
Fangli

Hi Fangli,
I am currently working on the power branch. I have a few things that you may
probably be able to help if you have some time.
1. I've seen that you have a folder demo, could you integrate that one in
starpu examples?
2. You have a few instructions on how to use the tool, could you integrate
them in the starpu doc?
3. You are updating the compile flags manually in src/Makefile.am, could you
do it through the autotools? (we do this with basically all the external
libraries, you can take hwloc as an example)
4. Will the 2 external tools, the server and the agent, still exist on github
for some time now? Do you plan a release or a stable package for it?
Thank you,
Andra
