The MPIR-2.7.0 release process resumes ============================== As of Monday morning I am finally back to work on the MPIR-2.7.0 release process, this time until it is done.
The only interruptions I have coming up are a talk to prepare and a conference to attend at the end of the month. I'm also supervising three students for Google Summer of Code, though another mentor will take over one of these mid month. That leaves plenty of time to get MPIR-2.7.0 out, at long last. MPIR job posting ============= As you are also no doubt aware, we intend to hire someone for a year, starting next March, to work full time on MPIR here in Kaiserslautern, Germany. This will involve assembly language optimisation in MPIR. We will advertise this position more fully when we have the final details. New computer for MPIR development =========================== Another piece of news is that we now have a new machine, courtesy of William Stein at the University of Washington Department of Mathematics, which we can use for MPIR development. It is a recent piledriver AMD at 3GHz. It has 16 cores, 96 GB Ram and heaps of very fast hard drive, with Ubuntu 14.04. It is very speedy for development. Either myself or Fredrik Johansson can give MPIR developers access to this machine. If you wish to contribute to MPIR as a project, send us a link to your public Git repository (the machine may only be used for Open Source mathematical software development and associated research), and we can give you an account. The machine is shared with the Flint project. Thanks very much William Stein! Bill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
