OK, let me try to present some concrete use cases (some are real, some are hypothetical at the moment):
- Adrian has implemented a new front-end, which is still incomplete but may be
able to handle some of my models in a much more efficient (or correct) way, and
I'd like to check this out
- Adeel has implemented new features in OMEdit, they are still unstable and not
working 100% but I'd like to try them out and give feedback
- Volker has a new fancy index reduction algorithm on his developmente branch of omc
which can handle my satellite models with fancy state variable changes, and I'd like
to play around with them and see how far they get
- Willi is introducing a new solver based on IDA/kinsol, which can handle DAEs
without turning them into ODEs, so it affects back-end, code generation and
runtime. It is still too crude to be merged into master, but I'd like to try it on
some proprietary models
- Lennart is introducing a new homotopy solver which can handle difficult
initialization problems, but it breaks the MSL regression, so it's not yet on
master. It affects back-end, code generation and runtime. I'd like to try it on
some proprietary models
Can we support as many of these cases as possible (all of them, ideally) on as many platforms as possible (Win, Linux, and Mac, ideally)?
