[Dune-devel] Google summer of code 2025 announced

Thu Jan 23 16:34:17 CET 2025

Dear all,

thanks for your plans to apply to Google summer of code!

We would be interested (and willing to mentor) a project on rewritting 
the ParallelIndexSet (in dune-common) infrastructure with the following 
improvements:

- use containers/algorithms from standard library for implementation
- asynchronous communication allowing to do something while communicating
- data handles expose source/destination rank in scatter/gather
- allow send/receive to the same container

Any interest in that?

Best,

Peter
