Bachelor Thesis - STM / ATM

Hello PyPy team. I would like to write my Bachelor Thesis on Python Parallel programming and your recent blog post Multicore Programming in PyPy and CPython<http://morepypy.blogspot.dk/2012/08/multicore-programming-in-pypy-and.html> sounds very intriguing. I would like to assist you with implementing STM / AME in PyPy and I can provide you with the equivalent of about 8 weeks of full time work over the next 3 months for this purpose. The Guidelines require an overall theme for the thesis, so I was thinking of focusing on a subset of the STM / ATM problem as the full problem seems too big. I don't currently have an overview of the code, so I can't see how far you are and what subproblems you are tackling. Any help on finding a good subject would be appreciated. The problem for me, is that I had the misconception my supervisor was more up-to-date on parallel programming in Python than he was. So now I'm under a very tight schedule to get my synopsis written as quickly as possible. Kind Regards - Andreas
