VMath - The Next Generation for Math Lectures on Streaming Video

Abstract:

This talk will have two sections. The first will introduce a new library for number theory which is under development, called FLINT. I will discuss the various algorithms already available in FLINT, compare them with similar implementations available elsewhere, and speak about what the future holds for FLINT, with the focus on parallel processing and integration into Pari and the SAGE package.

The second part of the talk will focus on low level implementation details of parallel algorithms in number theory. In particular I will discuss the design decisions that we have made so far in the FLINT library to facilitate multicore and multiprocessor platforms.

If time permits, there will be a live demonstration.
