Hello everyone,

My name is Ben Harris and I work at Applied Physics Laboratory. I am the 
navigation lead for the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe. We plan to 
use ODTK for our OD but I am investigating alternatives to double check our 
results from the ODTK. Also I am looking for ways to accelerate our mission 
Monte Carlos. I have experience with ephemeris generation, C++, CUDA and open 
source, in particular the GPS Toolkit (GPSTk, 
www.gpstk.com<http://www.gpstk.com>).

I am super impressed by GMAT's capabilities and where those are going. I 
anticipate I will be utilizing GMAT and will eventually contribute back at 
least with bug fixes.

Given that the base code for GMAT is in C++, it strikes me that it could be a 
great place to implement Monte Carlos that take advantage of GPU acceleration. 
I have a few questions regarding using GMAT in this regard:


1.      Are there any plans to incorporate a MC framework within GMAT? So users 
could parallelize GMAT processing without external process control.

2.      Has anyone ported GMAT's C++ code to CUDA?

3.      In a similar vein, has anyone built GMAT with a LLVM (low level virtual 
machine) compiler?

4.      Is there a notional schedule for the release of r2021?


Thanks for whatever guidance you can share.

Regards,
Ben
