[Moose-dev] Re: To a unified software model repository for Moose.

Hi guys, Some small observations: *Reduced Models* - Having reduced (partial) models is a nice idea. An even nicer one would be to have partial loading of the model. But until that happens, I guess the partial models could be a solution... And still, having the full Qualitas Corpus loaded even with partial models is impossible. I guess this is what Stef proposed to address by having the Project be just a proxy and loading it on demand, only that this might be too expensive. In my experience, loading a MSE file for an average system takes between 3 and 5 minutes. Imagine that you want to collect the number of classes in each of the systems in the QC. you have 150 systems * 3 minutes each for loading the model = 7.5 hours. And imagine that after that you want to count the number of methods in each of the systems... This is why with Andrea we thought about caching Moose images preloaded with the systems in the Qualitas Corpus. In this way I could run a new analysis on the entire corpus in 10 minutes: I open an image, load the latest version of my analysis package if needed, run the analysis, return the results and close. On the other hand, maybe the alternative to this an image per system could be to serialize the FAMIX models with Fuel and hope that loading an entire system with it would be waaay faster than when loading an MSE file. *Evolutionary Analysis* - I seem to remember talking at some point with Andy Kellens and him mentioning that they had an incremental model of FAMIX for modeling evolutionary analysis. This would allow them to only represent the deltas between two versions. We had this discussion last year at Sattose. Does anybody know anything about that? That would be the right solution for doing evolutionary analysis. Otherwise we should just be happy with analyzing at most a dozen versions at once, as many as fit in memory. Or loading things on demand if we find a fast way. *Memory* Did anybody look into using Gemstone...? *Server* Jannik I guess we could use one of the servers at SCG if needed for serving this information.
