Hello,

I am writing the mail regarding project proposal for GSoC 2019.

I am interested in working with SciPy for the upcoming Google Summer of Code and I am interested in either working on enhancing the randomized numerical linear algebra functionality or fixing the scipy.fftpack module.

I understand that it is quite early to talk, since the organization proposals haven't started yet, but I would like to know if a project proposal can be started right now so that the proposals can be better fleshed out by the time the application period starts?

That's the earliest start I've seen (which is a good thing)!

I suspect that we'll have trouble finding a mentor for the randomized linear algebra, however fftpack could be a good topic. Have you seen https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/11888? I suspect that by the time GSoC starts, we'll have merged that into NumPy, and would like to take it over for SciPy. A related topic would be to add a backend system for fft implementations (pyfftw, mkl-fft).

And a third topic would be to make the APIs of numpy.fft and scipy.fftpack agree. That would be the lowest on my list because it's hard (requiring lots of discussion on impact on users if we deprecate things etc.), but it's an important one as well.

Ralf

Cheers,
Ralf

Sourav
