phpruntests - GSoC report 4

Hi all, here's the actual update on my gsoc-work. best regards, georg TIME SPENT: about 45 hours HIGHLIGHT: There was not a really highlight in the last two weeks. The most time I spent on building and upgrading the taskScheduler-prototype. KEY CONCERNS: - WAITING FOR: Feedback on the last update of the prototype (not urgent). KEY TASKS THAT STALLED: The pronounced shared-memory-option was dropped for now. The file- and the msgq-variant are covering all our current requirements. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENT: - Finalizing the taskScheduler prototype (signal-handler, clean oo-structure). - Extending the prototype to offer a "low-ipc-variant", using temporary files instead of message-queues. This ensures that the multi-threading also will work on windows-platforms. - Creating four examples for testing the functionality and comparing the runtime of the scheduler to get it at a admissible performance. - Some minor adjustments in the run-tests-project. - [off-topic] trying to get php53 running on my iphone - works almost ;) MY TODOS: Integrating the prototype in the runtests-project. The plan is to keep the basic structure of the prototype and adding an adapter in the current implementation which handles the communication.
