One of my favourite algorithms....I am writing my dissertation on A* implementation in CUDA at the moment, so I've got to work with different approaches to it, it's fascinating really.

Hey! I also wrote my thesis in CUDA, but I implemented the interval newton algorithm. Could you send me an email when it's done? I'm very interested in it.

I think you'll find there are quite a few people interested in something like this - I know I certainly am.

Do you have plans to share some of your data/sections early? If you'd like, I'm even willing to help proof your dissertation. My email is in my profile.

I don't know how much help I could be with proofing, but I am also super interested in this! Just spent the last 6 months puttering around trying to squeeze out every bit of performance out of A* and related algorithms, and would sure love to see some paralleled lovelyness.

Seems there is a great deal of interest in this; I hope you'll add some contact info to the publicly-visible 'about' section of your HN profile so that people can get in touch!

Have any publications you could point me to?
