Dear All,
I am a student of Columbia university(Yan Cui) and want to contribute to
plan 9 in google summer code. I am interested in one idea posted on the idea
list, which is titled "MCS
locks
(i.e.
queueing
locks)
for
the
kernel
with
a
compatable
calling
interface
to
lock(9)".
Actually, my research direction is operating system scalability on
multicore systems and knows kinds of synchronization methods very well
including Linux kernel ticket lock, MCS lock, CLH lock, etc. For MCS
lock, I have done many experiments (such as replacing the Linux kernel
spin lock with MCS lock) and made improvements to it. I think I have all
backgrounds and experiences required. I believe I can complete the task
in time. Wonder to know
can I join you in the Plan 9 development?
