Drake Sage Group

This page documents activities of the Drake University Sage group.

Our initial work is on a single-cell compute server, which basically is a webpage that can execute an arbitrary block of Sage code.

For more information, please contact Jason Grout at jason#grout@drake.edu (replace the # with a .)

Meet in Howard Hall 308 at 2pm (room reserved from 1:30-3, so come early if you want).

Agenda

• Introductions
• What Sage is
• Overview of the simple-db-compute project and its architecture
• Resources

  • DrakeSageGroup webpage

  • Google code repository

• Installfest--get the simple compute server up and running on as many people's computers as possible

  • install Sage or Python, http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/, mercurial

  • install mongodb

  • install PyMongo and Flask python modules:

# from within python
from setuptools.command import easy_install
easy_install.main(["flask"])
easy_install.main(["pymongo"])

• configure mercurial
• Google code accounts
• fork simple-db-compute repository

• First goal of project
  • add a "compute id" that is returned to the user. The answers page then queries for just that computation's result.
