[llvm-dev] GSoC Interested student

[Hamilton Tobon Mosquera via llvm-dev]

Greetings,


I'm an LLVM newcomer interested in participating in the next GSoC under 
the project "Improve parallelism-aware analyses and optimizations". I've 
already read "Compiler Optimizations for OpenMP" and "Compiler 
Optimizations for Parallel Programs" both by Doerfert and Finkel. Also, 
I've watched their two LLVM meeting developers conferences "Representing 
parallelism within LLVM" and "Optimizing indirections, using 
abstractions without ...", so I have some background in the problems 
they are trying to tackle. Also, I'm close to solve one of the bugs 
posted in bugzilla, which has given me a broader idea of how the OpenMP 
pragmas are translated. The bus is this: 
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40253.

I tried contacting you Johannes but with your Argonne email, I suppose 
that's why you couldn't answer. Could you tell me more about the 
project?, what variants do you have?, or what can I focus my application 
on?. Should I start with what you recommended to Emanuel?.

Thank you.
