I was looking at GSoC projects this year for Boost and I am wondering if someone is working on a high-performance radix-2 floating-point back-end for Boost.Multiprecision.

We have already filled all of our funded slots for this year, and GSoC is running at full speed. We have tabled this particular project until an undetermined time in the future.

I don't think it not being picked up as a GSoC project precludes Aditya from working on it.
Fair enough. In fact, it's all free code, worldwide open source, Boost license. Anyone who would like to work independently on this fascinating project can fork my git any time. Here is the git repo that I created for prototyping this project: https://github.com/ckormanyos/boost.multiprecision The code is in a truly rudimentary stage, raw, unfinished, and merely a skeleton of thoughts. Without a formal context for this project, however, I am looking for significant independent progress before I am able to offer any kind of technical support. Sincerely, Chris.
