Second Evalutaion

Its's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it; it's even harder when you've ASSUMED your code is ERROR-FREE.

 I have successfully passed the second evaluation with a good remark as well from my mentor :). It feels proud when a mentor gives a strong positive remark on the ongoing project. 
For the second Evaluation, I was asked to provide a screencast of all build (with all the code that I have committed since the second evaluation). I used two very nice open-source software (Google Summer of Code creates a deep space inside developers for using Open source software). I used OBS studio ( If you want to use it refer to this https://www.howtogeek.com/183231/how-to-record-your-desktop-and-create-a-screencast-on-windows/  tutorial) to do screencast and used Handbrake for bit editing. Both are open-source software. GSoC teaches you to value open-source software and use it and also contribute to it.
This week I will mainly focus toward building swig wrapper of the whole code and give the final touch to cmake files. This week my classes will start as well so it will be very hectic this last month of GSoC. Hope it helps me to reach the next level of my capabilities. Since now participating in GSoC was a great experience and I learned a lot of things in this phase.

End of GSoC 2.0

    My second innings of Google Summer of Code comes to an end. I have learned a lot of things. There is still some work left which I will complete after my exams. The link to my summer internship report is https://gist.github.com/debashish05/e1ec288a81d77e0fe61cbf336d147109 . I have learned a lot of things from my mentors and develop an inclination towards research. Works Done during this period: 1) RRPlugins have been integrated with Libroadrunner. So we don't require a separate build for rrplugins. Earlier this task was achieved in my last year project. But the problem is the change in roadrunner will force the plugins to need to rebuild, which is not the case now. 2) Build time will reduce since the plugins and roadrunner are not interdependent. Updated all the plugins (https://github.com/sys-bio/rrplugins/tree/master/plugins/released), in the current system. Earlier these plugins were not working due to outdated wrapper and some minor bugs. 3) Updated Python wrapper for r...

Monte Carlo Bootstrap

Image
 The main work of Monte Carlo is to " Get some confidence   estimates".   The Monte Carlo plugin is used to obtain estimates of the confidence limits for a model’s parameters. This is in the context where experimental data exists and a parameter minimization method, such as Levenberg-Marquardt or Nelder-Mead has already been used in order to find a parameter minimum. The Monte Carlo algorithm is used subsequently at this minimum and will give an estimate of parameter confidence limits corresponding to the variance in the original experimental data. The plugin has properties such as the size of the Monte Carlo population, minimization algorithm to use (e.g. Nelder-Mead or Levenberg-Marquardt), and on output, confidence limits for each involved parameter. With some past updates, Monte Carlo is not working mainly due to the modifications in rrplugins and change of python version from 2.x to 3.x. I have modified the wrapper to let it work. Majorly the problem was with the pas...

Provided all Libroadrunner functions to plugins using RoadRunner C API

We are completely driven by self-interest. In the last week, I realized that building everything from scratch will be reinventing the wheel and at some point in time we have to reuse someone else written code in our program. So, I thought to use rrplugins in my code and worked on how to remove the dependency of LibRoadRunner. As of now, I decided to provide plugins all roadrunner functions through a C API which is already built. Now the main problems lie in removing roadrunner dependency from the plugin loader. For which will discuss a solution with mentors tomorrow early morning. This week I understand some basic concepts which I missed in my class. The detailed difference between dynamic and static linking. A brief concept is in this link  https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-static-and-shared-libraries/ .  Also in this Wuhan Corona Virus pandemic time due to my university will conduct my end semester exams. So I will be not be working on this project fro...
