Dlang.Mir GSoC

Requirements for candidates.

C
C++
LLVM
Fortran
Absolute responsibility

We do not care how good you are in D.

Ideas

Each subitem is a separate GSoC project.

University project. Your GSoC project can be combined with your scientific research.
Generative Art for Dlang promotion 👍 Portfolio or very good recommendation is required.
ndslice<->Julia integration
ndslice<->numpy integration
General purpose BetterC libraries
I/O betterC Dlang library
Async betterC Dlang library
String and format betterC library
mir-random
- Port mir-random uniform floating point implementation to clang and g++. You will code C++, our longterm goal is C++ standard.
mir-cpuid
ARM support
Advanced OS specific support
mir-glas
- BLAS Level 1 subprograms
- BLAS Level 2 subprograms
- One BLAS Level 3 subprogram. It is OK to do only one! But it must be faster then OpenBLAS, and not slower then Intel MKL. We know how to do it.
- Multithreading support for BLAS Level 2
- Multithreading support for BLAS Level 3

Mentors

Default Mir mentor is Ilya Yaroshenko aka @9il. You may reconcile other GSoC mentor or have few GSoC mentors.

Definitions

BetterC

Dlang subset, which does not require DRuntime to be linked.

BLAS

Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms

GSoC 2016
