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.

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 -----Original Message----- From: Tamarchenko, Tanya Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 4:53 PM To: Stock, Stephen Subject: Re: Winston 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. From: Stephen Stock/ENRON@enronXgate on 01/23/2001 03:38 PM To: Tanya Tamarchenko/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Winston 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 it currently stands? regards Steve
