(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5140) From WG9 minutes

[Van Snyder]

>From Canada's national body report to the WG9 (Ada) meeting in
Pittsburgh Friday 15 November 2013:

        In Canada's previous national body report to WG9, it was
        proposed that Canada would initiate a request to SC22 at its
        September plenary to form a study group to determine the
        feasibility of creating a parallelism model that could be shared
        between programming languages. Such a model ideally would allow
        for optimal use of the system processing resources and avoid
        over-subscription of parallelism.

        The request was made at the plenary, but SC22 declined to create
        such a study group, and instead encouraged other languages to
        participate in CPLEX.

Incidentally, national bodies from Canada, France, Italy, Portugal,
Spain, UK, and USA presented national body reports.  In addition to the
Ada Rapporteur Group, which plays a similar role to WG9 as J3 does to
WG5, WG9 maintains liaisons with Ada-Europe and SIGADA.
