Future Features and TODO list

Reference per class/method TODO list.

• Fix KD Tessellation Aspect Ratio Problems (ALISTAIR 09/26/02)
• Make exceptions MPI aware so that exceptions thrown on slaves percolate to the master and kill other slaves when fatal (ALISTAIR 09/26/02).
• Remove the non-MPI implementations of classes using MPI. It is straightforward to run simulations using MPI on a single processor, and so there is no need to support two near-idendical sets of source code (ALISTAIR 09/26/02).
• Evaluate the existing descent control heuritics (KS distance and data population). These work in software terms, but we don't know what effects they have in terms of statistics or execution time (ALISTAIR 09/26/02).

• Dimension length checking between Model and RunSimulation (MDW 10/20/00)
• Fix ambiguity (if necessary) between factory members and copy constructors. (MDW 01/08/00)
• Add a straight Metropolis simulation class. This is really a special case of TemperedSimulation with only one temperature but a pure Metropolis class would be much simpler. (MDW 01/06/00)
• Integration assumes a BinnedDistribution class for tiles and so this has been fixed in Model.h. This should be more general. (MDW 01/05/00)
• Implement convegence diagostic routines as an output filter stream in general (MDW 08/30/01)
