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. 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:DebianSAGE]
whatever else currently needs fixing

Done Tasks

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.
