=== Octave overview=== | |||
As usual, and meant for the new comers, there was an overview of GNU Octave. | |||
This is an ongoing collaborative effort initiated by Jordi at OctConf 2012, | |||
it was modified and extended by Carlo who presented it in varios occations (including | |||

=== Octave in numerical methods courses === | |||
Paola Gervasio gave a presentation about how she and her colleagues ([http://mox.polimi.it/qs/ authors of several books])use Octave in their courses at the university. You cansee exmaples used for the classes and some interesting pedagogic techniques in the slides. | |||
[http://www.ing.unibs.it/~gervasio/ Contact her] if you have questions! | |||

=== NCLab === | |||
Martin Novak and Martin Balek, from [http://www.nclab.com NCLab], showcased their product and commented in the technology their are develping to have a fully functional GNU Octave server online. We hope this guys manage to earn they coins respecting the Free software community. Good luck! | |||

=== LTFAT and Octave === | |||
Realtime sound processing with GNU Octave? It seems that the Czech-Danish team of [http://ltfat.sourceforge.net/ LTFAT] formed by Zdenek Prusa and Peter L. Søndergaard believes it is possible and are working towards it. We will hear (pun!) a lot from them in the coming months. | |||
Apart from that, LTFAT provides an implementation of wavelets for GNU Octave. | |||

=== JIT Compiler === | |||
L Y.H., the student who will follow up the work of Max Brister, presented the difficulties with changes in LLVM and the JIT compiler for Octave. | |||
Apparently, a re-structuring of this part of Octave is imminent. | |||

=== New sparse matrix format for Octave === | |||
[http://librsb.sourceforge.net/ Michele Martone] | |||
presented his (soon to be released) Octave package for sparse matrices "sparsersb". | |||
The package enables Octave users to transparently use the "librsb" | |||
multithreaded sparse matrix library from Octave, gaining performance | |||
in the application of sparse matrix-vector multiplication operations on | |||
large matrices (e.g.: when applying iterative methods). | |||
Early testing efforts are very welcome. | |||
Code and information is already available on [http://librsb.sourceforge.net] . | |||

=== GSoC project: Incomplete factorization === | |||
In future releases incomplete [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incomplete_LU_factorization LU-] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incomplete_Cholesky_factorization Cholesky-]factorizations will be part of Octave. In a short presentation one of this years Google Summer of Code students [[User:Siko1056|Kai T. Ohlhus]] talked about the project progress. | |||

=== Spectral Variational Integrators === | |||
This project may take off with the acceptance of Octave into the ESA summer of code in Space. Very interestign for people working in Mechanics and Control. | |||
