similar to: [LLVMdev] GSoC applications for vmkit

Following Chris reminder, here is a list of projects that VMKit (hence JnJVM and N3) would profit off. Projects I can mentor: (no preferences) 1) Generating shared libraries in LLVM bitcode or in the ELF/MachO format. This will enable many features such as not recompiling Java or CLI bytecode, optimize memory footprint. We could also generate executables and do a whole program analysis and

The poor interaction between exception handling and inlining in LLVM is one of the main motivations for the new exception handling models proposed recently. Here I give my analysis of the origin of the problem in the hope of clarifying the situation. Soon after dwarf exception handling was implemented in LLVM, I noticed that some programs would fail when compiled at -O3, for example the

Here is an alternative proposal to Bill's. It is closer to what we already have (which can be seen as a good or a bad thing!), and is also closer to what gcc does. It is more incremental than Bill's and introduces fewer new concepts. Executive summary ----------------- Remove the personality and list of catches out of eh.selector and stick them directly on invoke instructions. The

well generally I would be available for all the nouveau projects, although I am lacking proper knowledge for a few of those like video acceleration. But I am sure I would be able to dig into stuff enough before the projects starts.

Thanks for reaching out on the matter Ilia. I am not to be relied on. If you're lucky, I might be able to take some questions about past work, but cannot make a solid time commitment that warrants being a mentor. Of course, the mentor does not necessarily have to have the deepest understanding of the subject matter. *At the end of the GSOC* a good student should be trusted with having more

Hi all, Some days ago I attempted to submitt Syslinux as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012, but Google rejected it. As kernel.org has been accepted as a mentoring organization, and also listed Syslinux as one of the things they intend to develop, we can work with them under their umbrella. As I'm currently the only mentor of kernel.org (for Syslinux, specifically),

We've decided to apply for Google's Summer of Code this year - for background info on the programme see: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/home/google/gsoc2011 We applied last year, and while we didn't get a place, the feedback was positive and we were encouraged to apply again this year. I'm happy to act as admin (which I've done for SWIG in the past, so I know

Dan Colish and I are happy to act as admins again. I'll submit the application (which needs to be done between 18th and 29th March). I've updated the list of project ideas for students on

Hi Tanya, Is it too late to get some smaller projects for XRay in there? Here's two: XRay Function Coverage Mode: Implementing an XRay mode to gather function call coverage information. This will be useful in determining which functions in an application has been called either on-demand or throughout its lifetime. XRay Converters: Implementing conversion tools for XRay traces into

[-everyone except nouveau] Just looked over the projects... they all seem valid, but are there people who could realistically mentor a GSoC student for these? IMHO unless mentors can be identified, these should all be archived.

Google are running their Summer of Code again this year. If you're not familiar with it, see: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ We decided to apply a while back, but it's now time for orgs to actually apply - the deadline is just a few days away (Feb 20th). The main priorities right now are: * Refreshing the list of project ideas. I've done some cleaning up, but

Google's "Summer of Code" is on again. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We had a brief discussion on IRC, and we have enough potential mentors to make it worth applying again. Org applications are open Feb 3rd-14th. Accepted orgs are announced on Feb 24th, and students can apply between March 10th and 21st, but the keen ones have already

Hi Bill, there is clearly a misunderstanding: either I am missing something essential or you are.

Google are running their Summer of Code again this year. If you're not familiar with it, see: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Interested orgs can apply already up until February 6th (just over a week away as I write). We've taken part many times before, and it's resulted in both new contributors and interesting new features - I think it's well worth applying again. We

Google's Summer of Code is happening again this year. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We decided to apply some time ago, but applications for orgs are now open and need to be in by this coming Friday (20th) so we need to get things a bit more organised. Accepted orgs are due to be announced on March 2nd, and students can apply between March 16th and
