Internships investigating D in high-performance computing.

2014-01-07 Thread Ben Cumming

Hi there,

I want to get the word out about an internship position
investigating D for high performance computing at the Swiss
National Supercomputing Centre in Lugano, Switzerland (cscs.ch).
For more information about the position, visit:
http://www.cscs.ch/about/working_at_cscs/internships/investigating_the_d_programming_language_in_hpc/index.html

This is a good opportunity to work with D on some state of the
art hardware and tools. The project proposals aren't set in
stone, and we are open to proposals (they must be HPC-specific,
and preferably with GPUs).

The position is open to currently enrolled Masters students (or
highly motivated bachelor students). The positions are not
restricted to Swiss students, however for work permit reasons,
you must be enrolled at a European University.

The internships are paid, with enough to cover living costs, and
Ticino is a very pleasant place to be in summer with lots of
lakes and mountain valleys to explore on the weekends. If you are
interested, contact my colleague Claudio (find his email by
following the link above), or me at bcumm...@cscs.ch

Cheers,

Ben Cumming.

It works fine on Nexus 5 (it also loaded promptly the first
time). I lost to the AI a couple of times before I tried to play
multiplayer, but gave up after waiting a couple of minutes for
another player to come online.

This is awesome. Please let us on the core team know how we can 
help. I've put this on reddit too.


Thanks for the shout out Andrei. I am very interested in any 
feedback that anybody here has on potential work we could do. I 
am only starting out with D myself, so I'm open to any ideas from 
more experienced hands who might have put some thought into this 
before, or know of similar work.
