I was selected for GSoC 2021 under the organization Pharo Consortium to work on the project, Matrix State of the Art.
There are several matrix implementations in Pharo. This project aims to compare all those implementations on different parameters like run-time, space efficiency, and features supported.
Then, the project also aims to recommend an implementation that should be used for most use-cases or suggests writing a new implementation from scratch.
The project also involves building a benchmark UI in pharo-spec that lets users specify the benchmark parameters and execute the benchmarks.
