Welcome to the 3rd Singular-Polymake-GAP meeting (August 2012, St Andrews). This meeting is a continuation of an ongoing effort to coordinate the rapid development of the three major computer algebra systems involved in the DFG Special Priority Program 1489 (http://www.computeralgebra.de/). During this meeting we will follow three goals.

#Parallelization:

Coordinate the parallelization of GAP (http://www-circa.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/hpcgap.php) and Singular.

Topics (parallelization):

  • new developments in Singular and GAP
  • Memory management
  • Signal handling
  • ...

People (parallelization):

#libsing (based on spielwiese):

Continue the development of the GAP-package libsing which links Singular as a library into GAP and rebase it on Singular-spielwiese.

Topics (libsing):

  • wrap Singular's data structures available in GAP
  • automatic population of tables
  • ...

People (libsing):

#lmonade:

lmonade (http://www.lmona.de/) is a common distribution including Singular, Polymake, and GAP; the computer algebra systems involved in the DFG Special Priority Program 1489.

Topics (lmonade):

  • include the GAP-package libsing
  • Yue's Singular -> polymake interface
  • Sebastian's GAP -> polymake interface
  • Benjamin's polymake -> Singular interface (stable?)
  • the newest version of Singular 3-1-5, Polymake 2.12, and GAP 4.5.5.
  • produce convincing showcases simultaneously using several systems in lmonade.
