The goal for this page is to collect material around the ideas discussed at [Helen Faulkner's talk http://dc5video.debian.net/2005-07-17/Using_Debian_for_science_research-Helen_Faulkner.mpeg] at [wiki:?DebConf5Talks Debconf5].
Some ideas emerging from Helen's talk
(please complete)
The dedicated mailing list [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/ debian-science] has been created [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/07/msg00000.html thanks to Pascal Hakim] ([http://murphy.debian.org/lists/debian-science/details.html mailing list statistics]).
DebianScience could also be a [wiki:CustomDebian CDD project].
It could also be turned into a ["LiveCD"]. [http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/ Quantian] already does much of this.
- Development frameworks (should be painless):
- kdevelop for KDE
- Anjuta for Gnome
[wiki:DebianScienceOctave Is Octave really usable]? The main differences or missing features with respect to Matlab should be documented.
- Easy and simple tools to plot data (possibly separate by scriptable and/or gui, plotting for papers vs for 'exploring' data)
- gnuplot (nice for quick plots, but not suited for paper quality)
- python is good at that
- labplot is a nice gui plotter that handles 3D data
- openoffice.org calc can be used to plot 2D data
[http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/ xmgrace] (from xmgr/ace) seems popular here for 2D publication-quality plotting
[wiki:?DebianScienceR GNU R] is a free implementation of the S programming language for statistical analysis. It is very useful for data visualization and other computational science tasks.
- !["OpenDX"] is very powerful (for 3D data) but cannot be started intuitivly (aside from import quirks, it is once you understand the idea, though)
?MayaVi is a data visualizer written in Python based on vtk (http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/)
?ParaView is a parallel visualization application based on vtk (http://www.paraview.org/)
Necessity of a [wiki:DebianScienceFortran good Fortran integration]
- Requires also libs (e.g. for FFT) which are often present in add-ons for commercial compilers (FFTW connection in Fortran working now?)
- Useful tools for writing papers - word processing and !LaTeX
- kile (KDE late editor)
- openoffice.org (office suite - good but not 100% !["MSOffice"] filters)
- Useful mathematical libraries
[wiki:DebianScienceFftw FFTW and ["FFTW3"]] (Fast Fourier Transforms)
[wiki:?DebianScienceBlas ATLAS and LAPACK] (Linear Algebra)
[wiki:?["DebianScienceGSL"] GSL] (special functions, pseudorandom numbers, optimizers, solvers, etc. etc.)
Links already inside Debian project
?DebianScienceDebianLinks
Outside links related to science or scientific projects
?DebianScienceOtherLinks
Efforts that could be undertaken
- ["DebianScienceCDD"]
- ["DebianScienceLiveCD"]
?DebianScienceClassification
Thematic links
?DebianScienceBiology
?DebianScienceChemistry
?DebianScienceConferenceTools
?DebianScienceDataPlotting
?DebianScienceElectronics
?DebianScienceMathematics
?DebianSciencePhysics
?DebianScienceProgramming
?DebianSciencePublishing
(many still missing)
Unfilled needs
[http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/08/msg00002.html good free software to work with tomographic datasets]
Other contributions
(some thoughts added by smoe):
Independent from Helen's presentations that I cannot access at the moment there is
- A technical side of things
- Open Hardware for data aquisition
- Linux Lab Project
- Huge amount of software
- End user applications
- Kstars / general astronomy
- K12 / Education
- Debian-Junior
- Things working in the background
- Parallel computing
- Cluster software (Sun Gridware, Torque, Condor, LSF)
Grid software (Globus, [http://www.nordugrid.org wiki:?NorduGrid])
- ["Boinc"] (see also {alioth:pkg-boinc})
- MPI / PVM
- Statistics
- Maple/Octave
- Parallel computing
- End user applications
- A community side of things
- This wiki page
- Debian at large
- Others
