The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to generate realistic PSFs for camera lenses?
My current concept is to just combine zernike polynomials with a random factor and calculate the PSF from that, which can be somewhat easily be done with the prysm library. These PSFs can then be convolved with circular and gaussian kernels for modelling additional defocus and accounting for other stuff like the AA filter. Then I'd add chromatic aberration by offseting/scaling the PSFs for each channel. Some generated kernels already look pretty good when comparing them to stars in astrophotography images, but others not so much.

Python raytracer optimizations and improvements
You can trace about 1 billion raysurfaces per second in pure python with CuPy, or a few million raysurfaces per second on CPU.

Options for free optical simulation?
Prysm Originally for diffraction type optics but seems to able to handle...everything? Performance as a priamary concern, GPU acceleration, proven JPL heritage :) Raytracing is however still experimental and without docs, generally whilst the library looks excellent if you're an optics person already I think I lack a bit of the base fundamental knowledge to really use it powerfully from just the API reference. I can see BDube has some raytracing example code in some of the issues I could probably adapt and muddle my way through at least. No guis is mildly annoying for a noob like myself, but I can work my way around matplotlib-ing just fine instead i'm sure.

Options for GPU accelerated python experiments?
You may want to steal my shim set since it lets you hot swap Numpy<-->cupy at runtime

Anaconda is so fucking broken!
I do computational diffraction with large manycore servers and GPUs at a FFRDC. The difference between MKL and not MKL is the difference between hitting enter and getting a result in an hour or two vs tomorrow.

Does python 3 have applications in servo control & robotics?
All that matters in determining a programming language is loop latency margin. So, suppose you implement some primitives in python. That looks something like this:

Visualizing quaternions (useful for rotations, relativistic mechanics, other...)
Are you paying overly close attention to my online activity? Should I be concerned? https://github.com/brandondube/pctl/commit/6a043c2d413fce572a72d30b47ea84565c955e6a

A strongly typed dialect of Python is coming. I would like to humbly suggest a name for it.
I write a lot of library code and don't get tickets about type problems.
