The progress of the project is monitored and reported weekly:


Week Jul 10, 2006 - Jul 20, 2006

What have I achieved this week so far?

  • Completed the workflow for installing LAM/MPI. It has
    • Precondition tests, before proceeding with the installtion.
    • Loggging Mechanism.
    • Generate an HTML report at the end of the installtion.
    • Uses SysInfo (for OS specific info).
    • Implementation for dependency on the OS. (May need extension).
  • MPIAB now accepts commandline parameters.
  • Working on invoking MPIAB from commandprompt - remotely (Will send you an email).

What I have to achieve yet this week?
