= Google Summer of Code 2011 =

This page lists intial ideas about possible topics for Google Summer of Code, if Yade applies for that.

== Infrastructure ==
* Packaging and porting (rpm packages, Windows build, buildbots)
* Improve the build system ()

== Correctness and performance ==
* Grid collider, including sub-domains
* Multi-core optimizations
* Testing suite for contact laws (incl. dissipated energy, cyclic loading)

== UI ==
* Integration with paraview (streaming data during the simulation? Python scripts for loading all simulation data at once)
* Ssh server (adapted shellinabox) to connect to the instance, with ipython inside.
* Make SnapshotEngine safe; create videos including 3d (loaded from pdf/png) and matplotlib plots in one figure; make yade.plot use numpy.array, use simple expressions in plot specifications; off-screen rendering (with either qglviewer or vtk) for batch simulations.

== Functionality ==
* Topology information for single-multi and multi-multi interactions (continuous surfaces, volumetric interactions of tetrahedra meshes and such)
* Define local coordinates for all interactions
