What kind of transformation you would like to do? As in CPU to GPU code transformation or GPU higher level to lower level or creating a new language or new backend for language or focusing on creating better algorithms for parallel compilation. Where does your interest lie? And, If you have only one semester master's thesis, it's really hard to make significant research. It takes atleast 3 months to get to the good stuff (assuming you have other courses to do). <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I imagine that the community knows what might a good project, so I thought I'd ask you.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you are looking for a project, applying through GSOC 2015 would be good.

But, we are unable to decrease the gap between hand written and compiler parallelized code (some times performance gets degraded by trying to parallelize from serial code).<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div>Karl Hylén</div><div><br></div></div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Finally what I want to say is, the time you got is not sufficient. If you are looking for research (writing papers), start reading papers on compilers. I have seen lots of people in this mailing list who have done amazing research work on compilers (Chris Lattners team at Apple). What I found is that, they implemented ideas using LLVM. You need to find a piece which you want to solve and use LLVM as a tool. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!!!<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">_______________________________________________<br>
