I've heard about it because I had a course in Numerical Methods which used Octave for labs and homeworks.

I then found it was overly optimized for computing.

I'm the owner of my computer. I have complete access on it.

It depends. If we refers only to grades, I don't think it actually reflects the complete skills of a student.
But related constructive criticism I'm always open for it.

Kind of, but I usually do my research and listen carefully, and don't have a lot of questions.

I've had some experience with this. When it's garbage, you have to admit it, and not try to around it.
I prefer throwing 2 days of work and start from the begging, then working 7 days and then realize I can't control my project.

Yes, I'm interested in the "Improve MPI package" task.
I'm currently interested in implementing MPI specific functionality, such as MPI_Irecv, MPI_Isend and the Broadcast, Scatter, Gather group of functions.

I can't start working until 15 June, because of my exams session.
The summer itself will be combined with a summer job, as I must fulfill the task of doing a summer internship in order to get into the 4th year.
I think I can manage working and doing after-work codding.
