Participants : Olivier Beaumont, Nicolas Bonichon, Lionel Eyraud-Dubois.

We started an informal collaboration with Xavier Hanin (4SH) who has developed Xooctory and who has initiated the project Ivy which is now a project of the Apache Software Foundation. This collaboration is supported by INRIA who delegated Ludovic Courtès (INRIA SED Engineer) to work in Cepage for one year from July 2009 on a distributed version of Xooctory.

We are testing and implementing in Xooctory different scheduling algorithms that distributes the build process. We now plan to analyse the graph of dependencies of tasks in the build process to proposed dedicated scheduling algorithms.
