The proposal application period for the 2021 HPCC Systems intern Program is now open.
The deadline date for proposal applications is Friday 19th March 2021.
Discuss your ideas with the project mentor and send your final proposal to Lorraine Chapman.
This project was completed by Everett Matt Matthew Upchurch Butler, an undergraduate studying for a BS in Information Technology. Matt completed this project as an intern in 2018, joining us earlier than most in the January of that year and completing his internship before the summer started. Most students join over the summer months, but we can be flexible to accommodate study schedules and commitments.

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.
