Evaluation of Languages and Libraries
When: Winter semester 2017-18
CAMPUS #: 17ws-?????
Contact: Prof. Paolo Bientinesi
Overview
This seminar is ideal for students who enjoy coding.
Given a specific task (assigned in the first meeting),
every student will adopt one language/library to implement possible solutions.
Collectively, we will then evaluate the programmability and the performance of the different tools.
This semester, we will investigate some of the following: Julia, Scala, Rust, R, Eigen, SciPy, Armadillo, --your suggestion here--.
Every student has to code, give a presentation, and write a report.
