I'd be happy to mentor someone working on parallel linear algebra. The simplest thing to do that will have very high impact is to implement high performance iterative (Golub-Kahan-Lanczos) SVD, similar to what is implemented in PROPACK. I'm also interested in a randomized SVD version similar to what is described in Halko, Martinsson and Tropp, doi:10.1137/090771806.
I'm sure there are plenty of ODE projects around, but I would like to see someone take up the implementation of geometric integrators in ODE.jl. Thanks, Jiahao Chen Research Scientist MIT CSAIL
