| === Octave overview=== | | === === |
|
| |
|
| As usual, and meant for the new comers, there was an overview of GNU Octave.
| | * [[File:slides_octconf_gdf_jgh.pdf|Slides]] |
| 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 ===
| | * [[File:slides_octconf_paola_gervasio.pdf|Slides]] |
| 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.

| 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 ===
| | * [[File:slides_octconf_martin_novak.pdf|Slides]] |
| 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 === | | === New sparse matrices for Octave === |
| | [http://librsb.sourceforge.net/ Michele Martone] presented his (future) Octave package for sparse matrix using recursive blocks (quad-tree blockification of matrices). He is very willing to collaborate with any development that could use his code. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
