It has some very similar goals. I kind of regret not having more direct involvement with that project. They originally diverged because we chose to use an existing benchmark harness that already existed inside of IBM. It was much more simplistic, and was much easier to approach than STP, which was also much more mature at the time. Anyway, I think there's some talk now of a "test API" to at least allow the two projects to collaborate some more. -- Dave _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug
