Gnuastro in Google Summer of Code 2024

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Dear all,

Gnuastro is participating in this year's Google Summer of Code (GSoc) 
for completing the inclusion of OpenCL within Gnuastro:

https://openastronomy.org/gsoc/gsoc2024/#/projects?project=opencl_integration_with_gnuastro

OpenCL is a low-level standard to operate GPUs, as well as other 
specialized processing hardware like digital signal processors (DSPs) 
and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). See the project description 
in the link above for more details.

Last year, Labib Asari successfully completed GSoC in Gnuastro by 
implementing a proof-of-concept infrastructure of OpenCL within 
Gnuastro. For more on Labib's work, see the report: 
https://labeeb-7z.github.io/Blogs/2023/08/22/Final-Report.html

This year's successful applicant will work with Labib and I on 
completing the implementation to hopefully have it in the official 
Gnuastro by the end of summer.

If you know anyone interested, please forward this email to them. The 
deadline is April 2nd (18:00 UTC).

Cheers,
Mohammad
