It's not really a valid test to compare
the performance of the Eclipse SDK to the full Galileo download. The way
that our performance tests work is that we compare our current build with
the latest release as a baseline.  This allows us to see if  recent
code changes are causing performance degradations or improvements relative
to the baseline.  We don't have a Ganymede baseline and even if we
did, we don't have test coverage for anything other than Eclipse Project
bundles.

Another thing with performance tests
is that they are very sensitive to changes in hardware and operating system
patches.  So it wouldn't be valid comparison if Project A ran performance
tests on Galileo on machine Y on Vista, and Project  B ran performance
tests on machine Z on Ubuntu.    There needs to a be standardization
of  both hardware, operating system and baselines so that the data
is useful.

Hi all,
 
given that Galileo M1+0 is on
Aug 8 according to the Calendar, I'm wondering
whether it would make sense to
get the Build Machine set up (by porting
the Ganymede one) already in order
to get the ball rolling?
 
There's certainly plenty of time
and it's not yet sure whether we want
to start Galileo with all the
Ganymede heritage or start something new,
so it's certainly not required
just yet.
 
It just came to my mind and I
was wondering how much effort it
were to kick off the train and
if anybody with the required privileges
on the servers could do it?
 
There have been thoughts in the
past about improving the
test coverage of the full coordinated
release, and I thought 
that one option doing so would
be if projects wouldn't just
run their unittests in their own
environment but also have
them run in the "full Ganymede"
environment. 
 
I'd guess that the Platform's
Performance Tests, for instance,
might yield some interesting data
points if we compare the
results of a run in the "Eclipse
SDK Only" environment with
a "Full Galileo" environment.
That, of course, requires some
Galileo Downloadable Bits. Does
that make any sense?
 
Cheers,

Thanks,  Bjorn.  And thanks for
doing a great job chairing the PC (and AC, and EclipseCon, and...) these
past few years.

I suggest we have a call to cover a number of topics I’ve added to a new
Planning Council wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council
  Feel free to update with additional topics, and please let me know
your availability given the following dates/times:

Wednesday, August 6th at 11:00 Eastern US
Thursday, August 7th at 11:00 Eastern US
Friday, August 8th at 11:00 Eastern US
Tuesday, August 12th at 11:00 Eastern US

Also, it seems the next release train will be called Galileo, so I’ve
populated the placeholder wiki and created a Google calendar with the dates
proposed so far: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Galileo_Simultaneous_Release

Thanks,
Rich

Planners,
I'm happy to announce that Rich Gronback has agreed to take over chairing
the Planning Council for the next annual release cycle. I look forward
to working with him to help us all produce yet another successful annual
release. (I wrote a few more words on my blog: http://eclipse-projects.blogspot.com/2008/07/changing-of-council-guard.html
