[Python-Dev] GSoC: looking for a student to help on FAT Python

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

I am now looking for a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) student to help me
of my FAT Python project, a new static optimizer for CPython 3.6 using
specialization with guards.

The FAT Python project is already fully functional, the code is
written and tested. I need help to implement new efficient
optimizations to "finish" the project and prove that my design allows
to really run applications faster.

FAT Python project:

fatoptimizer module:

Slides of my talk at FOSDEM:

The "fatoptimizer" optimizer is written in pure Python. I'm looking
for a student who knows compilers especially static optimizations like
loop unrolling and function inlining.

For concrete tasks, take a look at the TODO list:
https://fatoptimizer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/todo.html

Hurry up students! The deadline is in 1 week! (Sorry, I'm late for my
project...)
