Greetings Octave Developers!

    This mail is primarily to reach out to Francesco Faccio, a 2016 GSoC
Student Developer
under GNU Octave, who worked on the Ode15{i,s} Solver Implementations
<https://gsoc2016ode15s.blogspot.com/2016/05/introducing-project.html> in
Octave.

    I am pleased to inform that I have been continuing this implementation
under GSoC '22,
hoping to make the dependency of ode15{i,s} on KLU optional, by replacing
the N_Vector,
Sparse Jacobian and Solver by SUNDIALS with Octave's custom implementations
of the
same, under the mentorship of Carlo de Falco
<https://octave.discourse.group/u/cdf/summary>. The entire thread of the
project can be found here.
<http://https://octave.discourse.group/t/gsoc-2022-project-ode15-i-s/1343/143?u=sarrah-basta>

     While working on these, we also hoped for some improvement in the
efficiency of the solvers,
as we would be avoiding making copies of data and also use our vectorized
operations in the
vector and matrices. Now that we have neared the end of the project, we
wish to test
the performance of the solver with these new implementations. Francesco had
made some
tests for this exact purpose, however the repository containing them listed
on the blog
seems to have been discontinued.

    This is a humble request for him to reply if he has a copy of those
codes stored somewhere,
or access to the repository, as that would be a great help !

    Awaiting a response in earnest,

Regards,
Sarrah Bastawala
Student, VJTI Mumbai
