Hi chenwj,

you can obviously contribute to the LLVM PTX backend and I am sure 
Justin will help to review your patches.

However, if you are asking in respect of the Google Summer of Code, then 
it is not possible for two students to apply together for one project. 
You can apply for the same project as Justin and LLVM is free to take 
both of you. However, most probably the better application will win. 
Another option is that you discuss with Justin and Che-Liang Chiou to 
see if it is possible for both of you to focus on different parts of the 
PTX code generation, such that both of you work in the same area, but on 
different sub-projects. Another project closely related PTX  may e.g. 
include work on the clang CUDA or OpenCL frontend which Justin pointed 
out as still being unfinished. See in his "Future Work" section.

Cheers
Tobi
