So, meeting TODAY!
Tuesday, 8/15, 7:00 PM, Bell 242, UB North Campus
I'm talking about a CPAN module called Quantum::Superpositions, a module
derived from quantum computing concepts. The features of
Quantum::Superpositions will be included as a fundamental part of perl 6 as
"junctions" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6#Junctions).
Superpositions/junctions are a different and very efficient way to think
about highly parallelizable things we do all the time, like:
- perform the same operation on a list of items
- compare lists of items to each other
- search through lists of items
- set intersection and membership
- multithreading
It should be fun, too.
