pthreads and DSTM in C
Not a very productive day. My computer broke down this morning and it took them a while to fix it.
Anyway, I managed to get pthreads working under Windows using MS Visual Studio (http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/). Why? To be honest, I have been using visual studio for about 6 years now and I am comfortable with it. Too lazy to learn how to use emacs or vi and gcc unless I have to. so plan is to develop DSTM using MS VS and then port it to SPARC from there.
Still don't know how to handle the version control thing of old and new objects in DSTM. Problem is, in Java DSTM just compares object - which isn't that straighforward in C. Maybe I'll implement a version number which gets incremented.

Talked to Cris Calude about the PhD program - need to work on that ASAP and need to prove that I have material worthy of a PhD. Will talk to Jim about that when he's back.
