Cryptic but fascinating. Now I’m looking forward both to IDL 8 and GPULib 2 (or whatever).

Thanks,

Mort

About me

I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.

I currently work for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory. Previously, I worked for Tech-X Corporation, where I was the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.

I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.

Contact me at Mastodon or via email at mgalloy at gmail dot com. For more details about me, see my CV/resume.
