SciRuby Summer of Code

Ruby
#1

SciRuby is a project that aims to bring scientific computation to Ruby.
We’re working on various libraries for that.

If you’re a student and want to work on numerical applications,
visualization of data or other kinds of scientific applications, please
take a look at:

There’s already much discussion on libraries like NMatrix and D3
visualization on our mailing list:

very nice. would it be possible to get a high performant database
backed
kd-tree? please?

#3

At the moment we’re concentrating on numerical linear algebra (including
sparse matrices, which are already working) and visualization. I wish to
build a library similar to Pandas (from Python) based on NMatrix, but
few
students seem interested in the idea.

If you want to suggest something, just send to our mailing list! :slight_smile:

And if you guys know students that may be interested in it, please show
them the GSoC page from the Ruby Science Foundation:
