Hey all,
thanks again to 9600 and the other staff on the parallella-project. Great work so far what I have seen.
In case there is interest in having ruby to do multi- and many-core programming on a parallella board, this topic is right for ideas, thoughts and (technical) design questions.
I will update this post here with upcoming ideas, questions, ...
First some initial specifications/ideas
* The ruby implementation should offer the same features as the c/c++ implementation.
* should be possible to test via simulator
The Project should offer:
* a ruby gem (the product) as a wrapper for the epiphany sdk (cause rubygems are C Extensions for Ruby in many cases)
* a cli based project-tool. Like the way RubyOnRails or RubyMotion offer, so you can use an editor+terminal or eclipse/ide and use these build tools. Free for decision.
Questions so far:
* As I understand the Epiphany Architecture, we do not need to build ruby on top of Epiphany?! Is that right? So a comprehensive ruby lib which uses the c lib should do the trick?
Use Cases:
* The first use case that comes in mind is having easy access to epiphany with a ruby framework like sinatra or rails.
Thanks for reading,
Oli
