4. About licensing: While POOMA is currently free for commercial use, are there any plans to make it a commercial package down the road? Not that we mind paying for software, but I'm a bit reluctant to start using something which may suddenly end up becoming an expensive vendor lock-in. Also, does/will CodeSourcery offer commercial support for POOMA, something like you currently offer for gcc?
The source code is currently available and will be for the foreseeable future. CodeSourcery is available for POOMA development work, but I suggest that you first investigate open-source VSIPL++ (www.hpec-si.org), which is being actively funded and developed by the US Department of Defense. It will have support for parallel linear algebra work.
