Where are we now?
Both working groups have made substantial progress
- Numerics and Concurrency working groups have preliminary reports -- Our suggestions for floating point submitted to Sun
We are initiating Community actions
- Help us collect Java Grande benchmarks
- Work with community on standard classes and libraries
- Participate in seamless computing framework (desktop access to remote resources)
- Stress Java and Java runtime (the VM) with large applications -- where are performance problems?
Note European involvement has been excellent so far
Now is a good time for full international community to comment on and participate in activities
