TODO.md

Infrastructure

• gravitation accuracy (analyze kernels' relative numerical accuracy)
• Support for conda
• Add tests (pytest is desired)

Benchmark dimensions

• half, single and double precision floating point (where possible)
• Python interpreters for benchmark workers (where applicable) - CPython 3.x, pypy, different compiler versions, different compile-time optimizations
• C- / Fortan-compilers - clang/LLWM, GCC >= 4.x, Intel, ...

Kernels

See "Desired Kernels" in README.md for further ideas. Prepared but not yet integrated code:

• C with SSE2 intrinsics single-thread
• Plain C multi-thread openMP
• Visual Basic / VBA

Kernel Design & Implementation Issues

• make gravitation worker pypy-compatible (again ...)
• np4: improve joblib worker initialization
• oc4: improve joblib worker initialization
• C code: translate comments into English
• pc3: figure out what goes wrong (bodies keep "disappearing")
• gravitation.lib.simulation: translate comments into English
• gravitation.lib.simulation.create_galaxy: test against original C implementation
• np3, np4 and other parallel kernels: code for computing batch size is redundant and broken for small numbers of bodies ("line index tuples for evenly sized batches")
