[Multiprecision] High-performance radix-2 floating-point back-end
Hi This is my first post on the mailing list , so apologies if it doesn't follow any of the protocols. I was looking at GSoC projects this year for Boost and I am wondering if someone is working on a high-performance radix-2 floating-point back-end for Boost.Multiprecision. If not , I would be interested in doing this project .I am currently a Masters student interning at a tech company in Seattle but I would be able to devote 15-20 hours a week for this project. I have a fairly good background in C++ and numerical programming.So in case no else is working on it (for GSoC or otherwise ) , I would be really interested . If someone is already working on it, I would be interested in some other projects I could potentially work on . Looking forward to a reply.

Thank you for your interest in our project. We have already filled all of our funded slots for this year, and GSoC is running at full speed. We have tabled this particular project until an undetermined time in the future. Please look into our project offerings next year. I recommend that you attempt to look into it at an earlier time in the year next year. Sincerely, Chris.

I don't think it not being picked up as a GSoC project precludes Aditya from working on it. -- -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

Fair enough. In fact, it's all free code, worldwide open source, Boost license. Anyone who would like to work independently on this fascinating project can fork my git any time. Here is the git repo that I created for prototyping this project: https://github.com/ckormanyos/boost.multiprecision The code is in a truly rudimentary stage, raw, unfinished, and merely a skeleton of thoughts. Without a formal context for this project, however, I am looking for significant independent progress before I am able to offer any kind of technical support. Sincerely, Chris.

As Chris has said, the SOC applications are over now and funding allotted, if you wanted to work on something like that anyway then that would be great! I think this is something that both Chris and I have looked at somewhat - I have a toy implementation based on using cpp_int internally which only does multiplication and no rounding - maybe one day I'll get back to it...
