[pypy-dev] Bachelor Thesis - STM / ATM

[Andreas Pedersen]

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
