Michael Abshoff's Wiki SAGE page

Hello, I study math at the University of Dortmund. Most of the time I spend with SAGE is dedicated around packages and their portability. I added valgrind support to Sage 2.8.3 and have been using various valgrind tools to investigate Sage's memory consumption.

I also recently become a release manager for Sage and I chaired a number of releases: 2.8.11, 2.8.13-2.8.15, 2.9, 2.9.2, 2.10 and 2.10.1-3, 2.10.4 (together with Robert Miller), 3.0, 3.0.1-3. Since it looks like few people want to do this job it is very likely that I will do a lot more of those.

Task Table

Currently Working on

• Probably chairing the current Sage release
• [:solaris:Solaris port of Sage]
• [:freebsd:FreeBSD port of Sage]
• [:windows:MSVC port of Sage]
• [:windows:Cygwin re-port of Sage]
• hunt mem-leaks in C/C++ code of Sage
• ["DebianSAGE"]
• whatever else currently needs fixing

• [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&owner=mabshoff&order=priority My open trac tickets] (the idea was shamelessly stolen from Martin Albrecht)

Done Tasks

• [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/query?status=closed&owner=mabshoff&order=priority My closed trac tickets] (the idea was shamelessly stolen from Martin Albrecht)

• See the Changelog, the google groups sage-devel and sage-support and #sage-devel on freenode.
• DMG installation image for MacOSX [other people did most of the work here]
• make all packages using BLAS/Lapack use the Accelerate Framework on MacOSX. Patch for Linbox exists and will hopefully show up in Linbox svn soon

Other Software Interests

• Linbox with MSVC
• Porting mathematical open source code to Solaris, Windows and any odd Unix out there.
