However, if you are asking in respect of the Google Summer of Code, then it is not possible for two students to apply together for one project. You can apply for the same project as Justin and LLVM is free to take both of you. However, most probably the better application will win. Another option is that you discuss with Justin and Che-Liang Chiou to see if it is possible for both of you to focus on different parts of the PTX code generation, such that both of you work in the same area, but on different sub-projects. Another project closely related PTX may e.g. include work on the clang CUDA or OpenCL frontend which Justin pointed out as still being unfinished. See in his "Future Work" section. Cheers Tobi

See in his "Future Work" section.FWIW, I may be able to provide informal assistance to any GSoC project student working on the CUDA or OpenCL frontends, but I doubt I'd have time to act as a mentor.

Justin, can I join your project? Regards, chenwj -- Wei-Ren Chen (陳韋任) Computer Systems Lab, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan (R.O.C.) Tel:886-2-2788-3799 #1667
Hi chenwj, I guess what Tobi meant is that although a GSoC project does not allow two students, you may send patches to llvmdev anyway. You may cc to me when you send your patches. I am glad to review your patches.
