PROFILE

T. E. Pickering

During July 2025, Tom Pickering enabled OpenMP-accelerated bspline computations on macOS for the pypeit/PypeIt repository, addressing performance and platform support. He achieved this by configuring the Xcode clang toolchain to support OpenMP and integrating llvm-openmp through conda-forge, ensuring reliable parallelism. Tom updated setup scripts and environment management files, refactored macOS compiler flags for clarity, and expanded installation and documentation guidance to streamline developer onboarding. His work leveraged C, Python, and YAML, focusing on build systems, dependency management, and performance optimization. The changes improved reproducibility and made it easier for developers to build and use PypeIt on macOS.
