VMath - The Next Generation for Math Lectures on Streaming Video

Abstract:

Distributed SAGE (DSAGE) is a distributed computing framework for SAGE which allows users to easily parallelize computations and interact with them in a fluid and natural way. This talk will be focused on the design and implementation of the distributed computing framework in SAGE. I will describe the application of the distributed computing framework to several problems, including the problem of integer factorization and distributed ray tracing. Demonstrations of using Distributed SAGE to tackle both problems will be given plus information on how to parallelize your own problems. I will also talk about design issues and considerations that have been resolved or are yet unresolved in implementing Distributed SAGE.
