| The goal of this "developer coding week" will be to write a huge amount of high quality code. All talks will be squarely aimed at developers and be directly related to coding projects. All participants will assumed to be very experienced programmers. The main topics will be: Cython, Exact Linear Algebra, Parallel Computation, and Porting Sage to Windows. However, like with all of Sage development, participants are encouraged to work on whatever they feel will be the ''most productive'' way for them to spend their time. | === Cython, Exact Linear Algebra, Parallel Computation, and Porting Sage to Microsoft Windows === === ORGANIZERS: Robert Bradshaw, William Stein and Tom Boothby === === DATES: June 13-20, 2008 === === LOCATION: Seattle, Washington -- Mechanical Engineering 208 === |

Sage Developer Days 1 (aka Sage Days 8.5)
[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-dev1 Mailing List]
Cython, Exact Linear Algebra, Parallel Computation, and Porting Sage to Microsoft Windows
ORGANIZERS: Robert Bradshaw, William Stein and Tom Boothby
DATES: June 13-20, 2008
LOCATION: Seattle, Washington -- Mechanical Engineering 208
The goal of this "developer coding week" will be to write a huge amount of high quality code. All talks will be squarely aimed at developers and be directly related to coding projects. All participants will assumed to be experienced programmers. The main topics will be: Cython, Exact Linear Algebra, Parallel Computation, and Porting Sage to Windows. However, like with all of Sage development, participants are encouraged to work on whatever they feel will be the most productive way for them to spend their time.
Anybody can participate, but funding will be aimed primarily at people who have demonstrated a substantial ability to contribute to the Sage project. (This is not a general Sage statement -- it's just for this workshop.)

- Carl Witty (June 13-20) -- either my proposed randgen framework (random number seed management for Sage) or cylindrical algebraic decomposition (either wrapping qepcad or writing my own implementation).
Main Topics
Cython -- something much deeper than usual, and not necessarily so Sage related. Cython is one of the "killer apps" of Sage:
- expand range of Cython developers (i.e., Robert tells us how to work on Cython).
- increase documentation
- future development directions
- PEX
- pickling
MS Windows -- figure out how to do a full native port of Sage to Windows. Seattle would be a good place for this theme, and I'm working on getting some Microsoft funding to support doing a port.
- visiting Microsoft and meeting the clients
- finish the cygwin part
- teach everyone how to use MSVC
Parallel computation in Sage -- DSage, Ipython1, Threads again; sort of like the MSRI conference last year but much more focused on Sage and actual implementations.
Exact linear algebra -- perfect to capitalize on Clement Pernet being around, and the positive momentum behind Linbox, IML, etc. There would be a number of talks on all the basic tricks of exact linear algebra, systematic benchmarking, with the goal being to "beat Magma" at a range of exact linear algebra problems.
Hotel information
I have already pre-paid for a bunch of rooms at the Collegiana, so many of you can stay there:

Back during SD2, William recommend the Seattle University Travelodge:
They have free wifi, are very conveniently located. Their rates are also reasonable. The College Inn (http://www.collegeinnseattle.com/) is also a good choice.
