What is the type of proposal should I submit here ? What kind or on what basis 
should I build my proposal so that I may get easily selected or chances for my 
selection is high ?

Re: [hpx-users] GSoC 2018

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

We haven’t had anyone else interested in the all-to-all communications project 
yet.
The description on the web page dates back to last year - but we’ve had some 
new ideas since then (or at least I have had), not so sure about the other 
potential mentors.

We added a libfabric parcelport last year that gives very high performance 
using rdma methods - its quite low level, working right off the network layer 
and integrating into the HPX parcelport framework.

A chap at ETHZ has developed a library for All-toAll communication that would 
fit very nicely with our libfabric implementation - it uses tree methods to 
minimize the total number of messges sent and also supports offloading od some 
operations to the network - if the network has logic capability (modern 
networks have this capability in the switches). If the network doesn’ then an 
abstraction can be created to handle it.
There’s a paper and code here
https://spcl.inf.ethz.ch/Research/Parallel_Programming/FFlib/

This woukd require pretty good knowledge of both the libfabric layer and also 
the library mentioned, so it would be quite a hard project - but if you took it 
on and were able to get even 1 of the algorithms (allGather/AllReduce/etc) 
working inside HPX, then it would be a fantastic contribution. I have not had 
time to work on it myself, but it’s been high on my to-do list for some time.

Have a skim through that material and look at the libfabric web pages - if 
you’re willing to try, please let us know, there’s not much time till the 
project dedline

Hey,

I wanted to ask about the availability of your projects for GSoC 2018.

I would mainly be interested in these projects: All to All Communications, 
Conflict (Range-Based) Locks and Newtonian Physics Sandbox but I"m open to any 
suggestions as well.

Have any of these received any serious proposals and if so do you have any 
other projects that would be important for you and are still open?

A little bit about my background (the first part of the form that you ask to 
fill):


  *   Name: Alanas Plascinskas
  *   College/University: University of Toronto (Year Abroad), University of 
Edinburgh (Home)
  *   Course/Major: Computer Science & Mathematics
  *   Degree Program: BSc
  *   Email: alanas.plascins...@gmail.com
  *   Homepage: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanaspla/
  *   Availability:

 *   Available for the whole duration of the project (mid-May to 
late-August)
 *   What are your intended start and end dates? 14 May to 14 August
 *   What other factors affect your availability (exams, courses, moving, 
work, etc.)? I will be available throughout without any major disruptions
Best,
Alanas

Hi Alanas,

some students are interested to these proposals. Also you are very late
on contacting us and the deadline for submitting a proposal is at the
27.03.2018.

Best,

Patrick

We've had quite a lot of interest in the performance counters project and
already received proposals. We want the best students we can get - but since
you're a bit later than others - you might want to consider one of the other
projects as a possibility to maximize your chances of being accepted...

However, if you are keen on this project, then please go ahead and look HPX
and how to use performance counters. Try to find out how the existing
counters are implemented and what additional counters could be useful.

If you have a project that's not listed on our page - then that would be
also possible. We are always looking for good ideas on ways to extend
improve the library.

Regards Hartmut

[hpx-users] Issue #3218 Statistic performance counters

[Ahmed Samir]

Hi,
Can anyone give me a quick hint on how to start with this issue? I am 
interested in joining the "Add More Arithmetic Performance Counters" project in 
GSOC. I have read the documentation and some examples about the performance 
counters. So I want to get started with this issue to get more familiar with 
the HPX library. Any help to get started?
