>Topic: Scientific Computing and Scripting Language Extension
> Programming
>
>Speaker: David Beazley
> University of Chicago
>
>About the talk:
>
>In the last five years, a significant shift in software
>architecture has occurred in the scientific computing community.
>Rather than exclusively focusing on the performance properties of
>low-level programming languages like C,C++, and Fortran, a large
>number of scientists are now building applications in the form of
>compiled extensions to high-level scripting languages like
>Python, Perl, and Tcl---languages that are interpreted,
>dynamically typed, and not normally associated with high
>performance computing. Closely associated with the rising
>popularity of scripting, a significant number of research and
>development efforts have focused on the problem of creating
>software development tools, libraries, and compilers for
>simplifying the task of extension programming.
>
>In this talk, I will briefly describe the factors that are
>driving the use of scripting technology in scientific computing
>projects. I will then provide an overview of SWIG (http://www.swig.org[2]),
>a specialized C++ compiler that automatically generates scripting
>language bindings to existing programs. Finally, I will describe
>some of the open software development and systems-related
>challenges that are faced by scientists working in this
>environment.
>
>About the speaker:
>
>David Beazley is an Assistant Professor in the Department of
>Computer Science at the University of Chicago. He is the creator
>of SWIG and the author of the Python Essential Reference. Prior
>to joining the University of Chicago, he worked on molecular
>dynamics software in the Theoretical Physics Division at Los
>Alamos National Laboratory.
