Milestones

Ref	Description	Due

WP1/1	Decision of GCC/LLVM for first implementation	31 Aug 2013
WP1/2	Design documentation for compiler integration, ML interface and available features	31 Aug 2013

WP3/1: Board Design Documentation and Working Hardware

• High performance energy measurement - arriving one month early
• Board design is open source.
• Using 2 interns instead of 1 post doc - this is no problem, same headings on finance sheet.

WP1/2 & WP1/1: Design of compiler integration, etc.

• Iterative design with external consultation.
• Thoughts on design to be discussed at next meeting.
• Milestone 1/1 follows on from 1/2.

Exploitation Plan

• Good to be taken to market from start.
• From University of Bristol perspective boosts academic and industry profiles.

Commercial exploitation

• This needs to be kept separate from the main project.

Risk Register

Need to add:

1. Size of training set
2. Relevance of training set - making sure we avoid too narrow a training set to ensure relevance when compiled with general code.

GCC Cauldron

• Counts as conference, not press release.
• Refer to as Technology Strategy Board not TSB.
• Describe as research council for industry.
