fw : winston debbie ,
this is an update on the continuing winston saga . tanya
identified the sections of the code that produce inefficiencies
but the rest is in the winston ' s hands .
steve stock is very cooperative and takes a very rational , enron - first
approach to the problem . privately , my concern is that the code , based on
tanya ' s
report to me , leaves a lot to be desired . the code tends to be a very
mechanical
implementation of the algorithm , developed without a series attempt to
optimize it .
let ' s keep paddling along .

tanya ,
i just checked in with the contractors here . . . . . and it looks like it might be
a good idea for you to spend about 30 minutes with them to give you a guided
tour of their documentation .
it ' s presented as a linked set of word documents and visio drawing , with
links to all the reletive parts as hyperlinks . it ' s pretty good and i imagine
it will be very usefull to you , but probably requires a little introduction
first .
please feel free to come to my office whenever it is convenient . even if i ' m
not available , the guys are just outside my office and i can easily stop
whatever i ' m doing to introduce you to the project manager .
regards
steve

steve ,
- we spent about 5 fruitful hours with winston last week .
- i pretty much understand the data flow when the code runs .
- i also got an idea where the time is spent during the execution of the code
by questioning winston .
i did not see any results of profiling the code . winston ' s opinion is ( as i
understood ) that he knows how much time is spent
on different calculations and profiling is not easy to do , so we don ' t need
to do it .
- based on above i suggested possible way to reduce the time credit model
takes to run and we discussed it with debbie , who was
going to arrange a meeting with winston .
- it might be useful to look at the documentation created by contractors , if
you have it handy - send it to me , please .
thank you ,
tanya .

how ' s it going with code - review from your perspective ?
. . . did you manage to talk to our documentation contractors ?
. . . if not , would you me to arrange for them to bring you the documentation as
