I have updated the project description with some additional information that may be helpful to you https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-(GSoC)-2020#concurrent-data-structure-support You will need to be comfortable with templated c++ - and combining two large projects such as libcds and hpx is not for the faint hearted.

I would say common data structures that are used in either machine learning or graph algorithms might be of interest to you. You can look into Phylanx<https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/phylanx> to see examples of "tensors" and their applications in machine learning, or FleCSI<https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/flecsi/>'s HPX backend for examples of meshes and other graph data structures used in physics simulations. As you probably can tell by now, understanding HPX<https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/flecsi/> is essential to all these projects. I would recommend you to start with examples included in HPX repo. Feel free to reach out on our IRC channel, #ste||ar on freenode (https://webchat.freenode.net). There is always someone to answer your questions.

I am currently a first year Computing student at Imperial College London and I have a fair amount of experience with concurrency, as it was part of my Programming module in Java, where we discussed various thread-safe implementations of abstract data structures (Lists and Red-Black Trees for example). I can say that I felt a huge interest in the area from the beginning, which is why I would love to contribute to your project. My only concern is regarding the prerequisite knowledge of C++. I have programmed in C++ for nearly 4 years during High School, but the purpose of my course back then was algorithms, so even though I can say I am familiar with the most usual header files and functions and with the language particularities like memory access, I do not yet have much OOP knowledge. However, I do have OOP knowledge in Java, which is why I am optimistic about my ability to learn the OOP particularities of C++ quite fast. I would like to know if the project is doable having considered my current abilities, what my chances are of being selected and what I could do to increase them. Also, could you give me some more information about what is expected to be achieved in terms of data structure thread-safe implementations (how many of them, what exact data structures represent a priority), so I could think more deeply about organising a schedule for the summer, considering that the first 2 or 3 weeks are going to be tougher for me because I will have to split my time between University tests and projects and Summer of Code? Thank you in advance for you time and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Tiberiu Bucur Imperial College London Computing First Year Student _______________________________________________ hpx-users mailing list hpx-users@stellar-group.org<mailto:hpx-users@stellar-group.org> https://mail.cct.lsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/hpx-users
