Changing octave to exploit multi-core hardware

[Leonardo Ecco]

Hi,

have you guys considered modifying the gnu octave code in order to take
advantage of multi-core hardware? I'm a graduate student in computer
science, and i'm currently taking a course on multi-core systems - our final
project is to select an open source software and change it to exploit
parallelism. I'd like to know if there is someone already working on this
issue. If not, i plan to start next week.

Regards,
   Leonardo.

PS: Is there any mentor organization related to GNU Octave at the "Google
Summer of Code" ?!
