- title: "Add support for pointers in reverse mode AD in Clad"
status: Ongoing
description: |
In mathematics and computer algebra, automatic differentiation (AD) is a set of techniques
to numerically evaluate the derivative of a function specified by a computer program.
Automatic differentiation is an alternative technique to Symbolic differentiation and
Numerical differentiation (the method of finite differences).
Clad is based on Clang which provides the necessary facilities for code transformation.
The AD library is able to differentiate non-trivial functions, to find a partial derivative
for trivial cases and has good unit test coverage.
Clad currently supports differentiation with respect to single-dimensional arrays but has
limited support for pointers in reverse mode AD. This project aims to add support for
pointers in Clad.

Automatic Differentiation (AD) is a set of techniques to numerically evaluate the
derivative of a function specified by a computer program.
Automatic differentiation is an alternative technique to Symbolic differentiation and
Numerical differentiation (the method of finite differences).
Vector mode support will facilitate the computation of gradients using the forward
mode AD in a single pass and thus without explicitly performing differentiation n times
for n function arguments.
The major benefit of using vector mode is that computationally expensive operations
do not need to be recomputed n times for n function arguments.

- title: "Improving performance of BioDynaMo using ROOT C++ Modules"
status: Ongoing
description: |
The ROOT is a framework for data processing, born at CERN, at the heart of the research on high-energy physics. Every day, thousands of physicists use ROOT applications to analyze their data or to perform simulations. The ROOT software framework is foundational for the HEP ecosystem, providing capabilities such as IO, a C++ interpreter, GUI, and math libraries. It uses object-oriented concepts and build-time modules to layer between components. We believe additional layering formalisms will benefit ROOT and its users.
BioDynaMo is an agent-based simulation platform that enables users to perform simulations of previously unachievable scale and complexity, making it possible to tackle challenging scientific research questions. The project has a wide range of applications in cancer research, epidemiology, and social sciences.
BioDynaMo incorporates ROOT for several crucial functionalities such as statistical analysis, random number generation, C++-based Jupyter notebooks, and IO. Some features rely on efficient reflection information about BioDynaMo’s and user-defined C++ classes. This project is about improving the performance of the reflection system by upgrading to C++ modules.

- title: "Enable CUDA compilation on Cppyy-Numba generated IR"
status: Ongoing
description: |
Cppyy is an automatic, run-time, Python-C++ binding generator, for calling C++ from Python and Python from C++.
Initial support has been added that allows Cppyy to hook into the high-performance Python compiler, Numba which
compiles looped code containing C++ objects/methods/functions defined via Cppyy into fast machine code. The
project aims to enhance Cppyy, by enabling CUDA compilation on Numba-generated intermediate representation (IR).
This integration will allow seamless utilization of CUDA paradigms in Python without compromising performance.
The objectives includes adding support for Cppyy-defined CUDA Code i.e. implementing support for declaration and
parsing of CUDA code defined in Cppyy within the Numba extension. Designing and developing a CUDA compilation
mechanism and execution within the Cppyy-Numba environment.

- title: "STL/Eigen - Automatic conversion and plugins for Python based ML-backends"
status: Ongoing
description: |
Cppyy is an automatic, run-time, Python-C++ bindings generator, for calling C++ from Python and Python from C++.
Cppyy uses pythonized wrappers of useful classes from libraries like STL and Eigen that allow the user to utilize them on the Python side.
Current support follows container types in STL like std::vector, std::map, and std::tuple and the Matrix-based classes in Eigen/Dense.
These cppyy objects can be plugged into idiomatic expressions that expect Python builtin-types.
This behaviour is achieved by growing pythonistic methods like __len__ while also retaining its C++ methods like size.
Efficient and automatic conversion between C++ and Python is essential towards high-performance cross-language support.
This approach eliminates overheads arising from iterative initialization such as comma insertion in Eigen.
This opens up new avenues for the utilization of Cppyy’s bindings in tools that perform numerical operations for transformations, or optimization.
The on-demand C++ infrastructure wrapped by idiomatic Python enables new techniques in ML tools like JAX/CUTLASS.
This project allows the C++ infrastructure to be plugged into at service to the users seeking high-performance library primitives that are unavailable in Python.
