Great timing, thank you @jeremie.vandenplas for organizing it.

  • Progress on BLAS/LAPACK interfaces for stdlib
  • Showcase/discuss high-level APIs developed so far (solve, etc.)
  • How to integrate the repository into stdlib/fortran-lang

Do we have a call link for the meeting today?

No, not yet. I planned to add a Jitsi link later this afternoon. But if you have access to another platform (Zoom, …) don’t hesitate to add a link.

Hi @jeremie.vandenplas , Apologies, I won’t be able to attend today’s call. I’ll aim to demo in the upcoming monthly session. Thanks!

Apologies for missing it, I didn’t realise the chosen time was during my working hours (I thought it was 7pm UTC+0). I’ll make an announcement for the GSoC progress.

Hello Sir, I am interested in contributing in the stdlib of the fortran and I completed the basics of fortran and I completed the local set up of the stdlib. So, can you guide me which issues should I solve? and How can I make valuable contribution to fortran?

Impressive work on the LAPACK interface @FedericoPerini! Looking forward to using it. Do you know what the timeline to having a production version of this is?

I understood that you have a script that allows you to modernize the code you pull. Is that something portable? Are you planning to use it on other codebases in the future?

Thank you for your efforts, very interesting. And thank you for the clear and informative presentation on the youtube video, I watched it all.

Thank you for the nice words @eelis -

We’ve got approximate deadlines on 3/31 for the high-level API, and on 6/30 to finalize the BLAS/LAPACK packaging. I hope that things will be ready earlier than that.

Regarding the script: it’s a great idea. It’s started as a semi-automated way to leverage LAPACK’s excellent organization (though F77, all functions have well-defined blocks for parameters, arguments, etc.), but as things got more complicated, it’s been evolving more into a Fortran parser.
It would definitely be great to see this grow into something more general in the future!

Thanks for recording and posting it! I tried to follow live but I kept being interrupted by my boss :sweat_smile:

@Agrapujya, welcome, see the threads discussing GSoC for more information.

@Agrapujya see the thread on GSoC if you want to contribute. That is the best way I think.
