Re: [eigen] (co-)mentoring for Google Summer of Code

Hi Gael,

  I wanted to add in, what about OpenCL support for expressions?

Or does that not make any sense from a performance POV?

Cheers

Hi developers,

it's a shame that Eigen still haven't participated to GSOC. The deadline for organisations is within 2 weeks, and if I'm not alone willing to act as a mentor, I'll prepare the forms to apply.

So would any of you be interested to participate to GSOC 2015 as a mentor/co-mentor?

Here are some initial project ideas:

- blocking/tiling in ColPivHouseholderQR and other decompositions

- sparse eigen decomposition (followup of last spring student project)

- performance oriented unit-testing with a web interface to track perf regressions

- finalize sparse-block storage format and extend direct solvers to exploit it

- evaluate expressions through CUDA (based on Benoit Steiner's work on Tensors)

cheers,

Gael
