EXPIRED
Context
The ANR/Digiteo MaGiX project aims the
development of a free software for “computer analysis”
called Mathemagix (http://www.mathemagix.org).
The idea is to generalize the exact and certified spirit of symbolic
computation to areas closer to mathematical analysis, and
simultaneously ensure high performance. We also pay special care to
the development of a high quality user interface, based on GNU TeXmacs
(http://www.texmacs.org). The applicant
will be integrated in a small team lead by Joris
van der Hoeven and Grégoire
Lecerf, who both have a strong background in the area of
symbolic computation and software development.
Job description
The job will start with the installation of new servers for the
project. Using virtualization, all major operating systems (Linux,
MacOS, Windows) will be made available for developers, and maintained
during the whole project. The engineer will design and implement a
mechanism for automatic daily buildings and testing of our software on
all supported architectures. He will also participate in the creation
of suitable test suits, benchmarks, and their publication of the web
using TeXmacs. The engineer will contribute to the documentation on
compiling, installing and basic usage of Mathemagix
and TeXmacs. He will provide user support through our mailing lists
and participate in the organization of workshops and other means of
dissemination of our software.
