HPCGAP Status of Packages

My plan is to use this page to record what is known about the usability or otherwise of GAP packages in HPC-GAP.
This could, and probably should, be replaced by something more sophisticated supporting automatic regression testing, etc.

For each package, we should record

• the package version tested
• any patch applied from the released version.
• the date of testing (or the HPC-GAP commit)
• the tests used -- if not the standard testall file of the package
• the result, likely to be one of:
  • won't load
  • loads but fails tests in main thread
  • passes tests in main thread but fails them in another thread
  • passes tests in multiple threads but sometimes fails when tests are run concurrently in several threads
  • seems to be safe
• any additional comments

Taken from the web page on 18/11/15 the list of GAP packages and current versions is:

• ACE 5.1 (22/01/2012)
• Alnuth 3.0.0 (26/10/2011)
• ANUPQ 3.1.1 (19/11/2013)
• Automata 1.13 (19/11/2011)
  • version tested: 1.13
  • patch: pkg-diffs/automata-2015-11-18.diff
  • the date of testing: 18/11/2015
  • the tests used -- running tests from the patternclass package, which exercises most of the technical code in automata, but ignores some areas
  • result: seems to be safe
  • any additional comments: works solidly for relatively heavy workloads doing "automata arithmetic"

  • Patternclass caches some precomputed results in a list which is set up with InstallFlushableValue. The natural replacement is a WriteOnceAtomic list which has just the right semantics, but cannot be installed in this way. As a fix I have just assigned it and then installed a method for FlushValues to replace it with a new empty one, but this seems like a situation that will recur and should be dealt with systematically.
