You may suggest a project idea of your own but it must leverage HPCC Systems in some way. Contact us for support from an HPCC Systems mentor with experience in your chosen project areaclosed. Check back in the Fall for details about applying to join our 2021 program.

Project Description

A standard Math library would expand the ECL language greatly. Math is constant and under normal circumstances it does not change as in a dependent relationship. It is a critical component of nearly every aspect of society and is therefore extremely useful in countless applications. ECL has already shown a massive improvement over its predecessors, so it is not difficult to contend that the separation between them, in terms of completeness and efficiency, can be widened even further with this project’s implementation. For this reason, a standard Math library should be created. Specifically, the functions involving probability distributions need to be implemented. The probability distributions discussed in this proposal cover the vast majority of those that are considered useful and will go a long way to add to the capabilities of ECL.
