Hello everybody, I am Severin - a student at ETH in Zurich. Currently i'm enrolled at the Masters program in computer science. The next 6 month, starting from the 15th of September I will do my thesis. This more or less means working on a project. Since me and my mentor (Nicholas Matsakis) both share interest in python we came up with the idea to do some work with the pypy project. We started to talk about what we could do and what would be interesting for us. In some way we wanted to '*improve multiprocessor capabilities*' in pypy. We had some ideas so far, but we are not yet fixed on something. I was wondering if somebody of you has something that is of particular interest to the pypy community. Some ideas that might be interesting to look at for me. Any kind of input or idea is welcome... Best regards, Severin

A random idea. Implementing python-safethread monitors for PyPy? http://code.google.com/p/python-safethread/wiki/Monitors -- Seo Sanghyeon
safethread sound like something interesting. are there already any safthread ideas in pypy? In general, working on GILless ideas sounds more interesting than doing something on multiprocess framworks. It's a master thesis, that means there is room for experimental stuff, but in the end half a year is quite short, so the room is limited again :) was there any attempt to remove the GIL in pypy so far? -- Severin On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 6:21 PM, Seo Sanghyeon <sanxiyn@gmail.com> wrote:

None that I know of at least. I think any serious GIL-removal proposal requires some deeper thinking about what exactly are the expected semantics. Cheers, fijal

Oi, how did I miss this thread before... Python-safethread's design of course includes most of this deep thinking. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus
Hello. Can you explain a bit in which direction would you like to go? Or is the topic vague for a reason to experiment a bit? Would you rather want say, create some GILless locking mechanism in pypy or rather implement some cool multi-process framework based on what is done already?
