A new (and better) visualization package for MATLAB*P
Grid enabled MPI applications - use MATLAB*P as a test application
Optimization package for MATLAB*P - either implement a few general purpose functions or do one function complete with real applications
Allow Octave to be used for mm mode - Octave has no engine mode, need some clever hack to get it work
Allow a 'delayed evaluation' mode in MATLAB*P. Say you do A = randn(100*p); B = chol(A); 2nd statement will return immediately to MATLAB, even before completion of chol. The next command to server will block and wait for chol to finish. This allows MATLAB commands to be completed while server is working. This requires modification to the server, multithreaded stuff, and could be hard.
Add sparse matrix support to MATLAB*P - this is a huge project, but pieces could be carved out. Collaboration with John Gilbert (Sparse matrix guru of MATLAB sparse fame) at UCSB.
