Google Summer of Code 2013

I'm mentoring 2 students for the Google Summer of Code 2013, with my colleague Nasos who is a regular contributor to the project.
Boost has 7 students this year and at Boost.uBLAS, we're happy to say we have 2 students among the 7 !

One will work on implementing missing functions in BLAS 1,2 and 3 and introducing CPU level parallelism like auto-vectorization and SSE instructions (by hand).
The other one will work on bringing parralelism at the core level but especially at the network level to make Boost.uBLAS one of the only general-purpose linear algebra library than can distribute computations over a network using MPI.
