There haven't been any requests from developers for highly tuned linear algebra libraries. There are a few FFTs being used by activities. Currently, Python apps doing FFTs are using Numpy's FFTPACK, which is a decent basic C implementation. Scipy automatically wraps FFTW, which is known run fast on Geode. I would be in favor of including FFTW and Scipy in the base build, to expose faster FFTs. Personally, I have enjoyed R and Octave (a Matlab clone), but I do not think it is a good idea to make activities of them. If Scipy, Matplotlib, and perhaps RSPython were included by default, Pippy/Develop would become a Matlab-grade numerical computing environment. A dedicated numerics activity, built on the same foundation, would also be welcome, if someone has some UI inspiration. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHWyFcUJT6e6HFtqQRApmOAJkBhC1G+u/QWc3MEhMJWk5WwKg9awCePicz h7RtBtJzXnZwiAx5GpmYZN0= =aT5+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
