  • 512x512x1000 voxels
  • GPU solutions or ipython solutions
  • Python package for accessing to Slicer internals in a headless mode, i.e. run Slicer internals from Python instead of running Python from within Slicer
  • iPython distinct from MPI (meet different needs)
  • Microsoft interest in iPython
• Jim fell on the sword to take minutes
• Follow up information from Fernando about the new version of ipython in development:
  • the docs for the in-testing ipython are at: http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/bzr.r1321/
  • and downloads in various formats are at: http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/testing/
  • Note: the files with .bzr.r1321 in the names are the relevant ones for today's call, NOT the 'nightly' ones.
