Event summary
The Camaret LinBox developer meeting took place in Grignan (France), from December 13th to 15th, 2017.
There were 9 participants from 3 different institutions (UGA, Université Montpellier 2, US Naval Academy). No registration fees were applied.
After a round table branstorming on development projects for the meeting, developers gathered in groups each addressing a given project. The main achievements of the meeting include
- Progress on the distributed parallel ration solver (\delivref{hpc}{LinBox-distributed});
- Improvement on the polynomial matrix algorithmic;
- wider support of SIMD micro-architectures;
- Cleanup and simplification of the build system;
- Improvement of code robustness and release preparation (\delivref{hpc}{LinBox-algo}).
Results and impact
The workshop was very productive and particularly beneficial to WP5 (\delivref{hpc}{LinBox-algo} and \delivref{hpc}{LinBox-distributed}).
