BART: Toolbox for Computational Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:1 release, 46 commits, 17 PRs in 1 year 11 months
Contributions summary:Frank contributed to the `BART` toolbox, specifically by adding and modifying functions related to LAPACK, a numerical linear algebra library. They added a function for batch singular value thresholding and modified existing functions for singular value decomposition and matrix multiplication. These changes involved code modifications within the `src/num` directory and `src/lowrank` directory and indicate an understanding of numerical methods and linear algebra.
