Since the STP is really a framework and just about any piece of software and testing environment could be worked into it. So I guess you could have two pieces. One that just ran a bunch of compile and user level tests and then one that went in and checked out the compiler on a kernel tree and then ran the same performance tests that had been run using the "standard" compiler. Are you stepping forward to integrate this into STP? :-) > - Dan -- Timothy D.
