[-- Attachment #1 --] Greetings, I have here a talented maths student looking for a place to complete her mandatory (unpaid) industry internship. She has a knack for numerical analysis, differential equations, and writing floating point code. I suggested that there might be need for some improvement to the math code currently shipped with FreeBSD as the old msun code, while very precise, is not writted to take advantage of modern SIMD FPUs with FMA support and could be improved considerably. Is there an interest for such or other numerical work on the FreeBSD code base? Would anybody be interested in supervising such work? If yes, I would try to connect the two of you. Yours, Robert Clausecker -- () ascii ribbon campaign - for an encoding-agnostic world /\ - against html email - against proprietary attachments [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEExWcBrcoFY7LMaPxvWXxDScqS3gUFAmZxxFFfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEM1 NjcwMUFEQ0EwNTYzQjJDQzY4RkM2RjU5N0M0MzQ5Q0E5MkRFMDUACgkQWXxDScqS 3gWe3hAAsYppPMvI5JlW4oWr0s0by/8CEU39bT0s1w+uhdmk+1xKqX127128D4Je m3VEvgV/dAmW6EkTVmNvhVlAr4Sc47vueIADycE5FLSzN/bFhvbv0u0Nzkmb7aON 1gtHnhckB6XrsAHsg6PPlgPPNKDQJGj05l+60bfkgsg0qwl/tMz+64HYB/egv3Yc GJbAAtgno6lpcfVMbsc/Bvjt2Rzbvy65GzAfQj11mIctdOJd7c26F1A4nsyEwEIt XXQUVlCdZvbbJ5e6Zfadg2rYQKi1mVeDG7meJsnA6Kd1Wgo2vWixX0IG9/JCI8Ee iAUepRpe+0m05hrmG595wrgdqxtFo7lnHLsd2Q0yVxoouRyEZNnpgxdDqla7CVsy sBeAjuOtff3vtUiOPanZw4eqI+k1q1HrAwg5ZPC6s48GgncgevKQK1LufZKNM64r X5jPut3bUolrSCncKElrnYEN38rhLQpGtKY8Xan1sK5FXJWOX2Aft/pmWyz9KCRC 5ujMsbDrUsqbjcfzgVZDLFYxVw+1a0XY4tdR6tttnBCpWWo+Qtm9YI9yTVY10tnC zVduZIa55NdTh580yk6ZqiBbKIbqUHEQZKai5MhtRC5Qw0+pC/TNX3ns3wGkj6iv 7zCav2dSUXrJg4mKKZIOnfZ9mOQMKSo98DUFBmEECkz1+yl11O4= =ChYE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
