This year we got interviewed about our activities at Google Summer of Code by heise online. First, they interviewed one of this years organizers Patrick Diehl about his responsibilities as a mentor and organizer. Please find the interview in German here. Second, they interviewed Marcin Copik, a former student and a current mentor about his experiences. Please find the interview in German here.
GSoC’18: Come and code a STE||AR Summer with us!
The STE||AR Group is honored to have been selected as one of the 2018 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor organizations! This program, which pays students over the summer to work on open source projects, has been a wonderful experience for the past four years that we have been accepted by the program.
Joining the Team: Searching for Postdocs!
The STE||AR Group at LSU is excited to announce a search for a postdoctoral researcher. We are looking for a team member with strong C++ skills and experience and an interest in high performance computing, runtime systems, or machine learning. Familiarity with the paradigms and constructs of
Joining the Team: an REU experience
2018 is proving to be an exciting year for the STE||AR Group. We anticipate hiring more people this year to help us work on the many new projects we and our collaborators have received. These new rolls include positions for people who are just starting their coding career. Over the summer, the STE||AR
Google Summer of Code Statistics
After the Google Mentor Summit, we started to gather some statistics about our participation in Google Summer of Code. In Summer 2014, we were first time accepted as an organization. Figure 1 shows that since our first year we have increased the number of students mentored from two to six. Unfortunately, with an more students, the odd of a student failing the program increased. In 2017 we started to analyze the pull requests of our students. Here, we counted the open pull request at the last day of GSoC and the closed one one day later. In 2018 we started to analyze the ammount of applications we received .We also analyzed the amount of students per country of residence and continent of residence.
Leveraging HPX on the Raspberry Pi Platform
By Jesse Goncalves
This summer, with support from the National Science Foundation and LSU’s Center for Computation and Technology, I sought to leverage HPX on a Raspberry Pi cluster, the objective being to show that the C++ library and run-time system ports to even the
GSoC 2017 Results: Success!
It has been another STE||AR Summer of Code! This year our team had the privilege to work with some very talented students. Moreover, we are pleased to say that their work clearly showcases their potential. It has been an exciting and rewarding to watch these students submit increasingly influential contributions to our community. Below you can read an outline of their projects which
GSoC 17: Final Documentation for hpx::util::unwrapped and Unified hpx::wait and hpx::when
Our GSoC student, Denis Blank, has done a very nice write up of his work over the summer here. In the blog, he outlines his work re-implementing hpx::util::unwrapped as well as his contributions to unify the hpx::wait and hpx::when API. He illustrates the
GSoC 17: Final documentation for Parallel algorithms 2
By taeguk (http://taeguk.me)
Abstract
HPX is “The C++ Standards Library for Concurrency and Parallelism”. So, implementing C++17 parallelism like N4409 is very important. Most of parallel algorithms are already implemented. But, still some algorithms are remained to be not implemented. My main
GSoC 17: Final documentation for Parallel algorithms 1
By Ajai V George under the supervision of Marcin Copik
Abstract
My proposal was to implement distributed versions of STL parallel algorithms. The main focus has been on resolving as much of the pending work in #1338 , which is about ensuring that these algorithms work seamlessly with distributed data structures like
