Bug#970475: ITP: mcx -- GPU-based 3-D Monte Carlo photon transport simulator

[Qianqian Fang <fangqq@gmail.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Name:           mcx
Version:        2020.9
Summary:        GPU-based 3-D Monte Carlo photon transport simulator

Description:
Monte Carlo eXtreme (MCX) is a fast photon transport simulation
software for 3D heterogeneous turbid media, accelerated by GPUs.
MCXLAB is the native MEX version of MCX for Matlab and GNU Octave.
It contains the entire MCX code into a MEX function which can be called
directly inside Matlab or Octave. The input and output files in MCX are
replaced by convenient in-memory struct variables in MCXLAB, thus,
making it much easier to use and interact. Matlab/Octave also provides
convenient plotting and data analysis functions. With MCXLAB, your
analysis can be streamlined and speed-up without involving disk files.

Comment:
I am the upstream author and current package maintainer of this
toolbox for Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/octave-mcxlab)
I am interested in continue maintaining and updating this package.
