New releases of Tanger, TinySTM++, and STAMP patches
Submitted by Torvald on Tue, 12/23/2008 - 17:22We (the TM group at Dresden University of Technology, Systems Engineering group (http://se.inf.tu-dresden.de)) just released a new version of the Tanger STM Compiler, TinySTM++ (a C++ port of TinySTM), and support patches for STAMP.
You can download the releases at http://tm.inf.tu-dresden.de, more related software can be found at http://tmware.org and http://tinystm.org. To make it easier for you to test the software, you can also download a virtual machine image with all the new releases installed and ready to run.
New Tanger release (0.6.0)
Submitted by Torvald on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 18:07A new version of Tanger is available. It contains a couple of enhancements and several bugfixes. If you encounter any bugs or have questions, just check the bugtracker, send an email, and I'll have a look at the problem. Thanks go to Haggai Eran for reporting many of the bugs fixed in this release.
STAMP patches
Submitted by Torvald on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 17:31We've been using the STAMP benchmarks for some months now, and I finally had some time to create a proper patch for STAMP 0.9.6. The newer benchmarks (Bayes, Labyrinth) don't work yet because Tanger is missing support for memset() and memcpy(), but this should be added soon.
A new release of Tanger is also not too far away, and we are working on a C++ version of TinySTM that uses traits to improve modularity.
New versions of Tanger and TinySTM (including TinySTM/Tanger integration)
Submitted by Torvald on Wed, 09/19/2007 - 19:40New versions of Tanger and TinySTM are available for download (0.5.1 and 0.7.2, respectively).
The most important changes are that TinySTM now includes the necessary wrappers to provide the interface expected by Tanger, and that some features have been added and some bugs fixed (see below for details). You can now easily use TinySTM as Tanger's STM by executing something similar to
`make STMLIBDIR=/path/to/tinySTM-0.7.2/lib/` if you are using the makefiles in the tests/performance directory (have a look at Makefile.common to see how it works).
TinySTM available for download
Submitted by Torvald on Mon, 08/27/2007 - 23:59Version 0.7.1 of TinySTM is available for download.
Mailing list set up
Submitted by Torvald on Sun, 08/26/2007 - 12:29There now is a mailing list that covers the development of Tanger and TinySTM. We will use the list for both discussing development things and announcing new software releases.
Starting to add content
Submitted by Torvald on Wed, 08/22/2007 - 09:34We're slowly starting to add content to the site. If you have any questions or comments (e.g., if you'd like to have more introductory text, if Tanger doesn't instrument your benchmark yet, etc.), just send us email.
