Re: [julia-users] Re: GSoC 2016 - Simple persistent distributed storage Project

2016-03-22 Thread Soujanya Ponnpalli 
Hello,

By going through Parallel Computing package of Julia, I understand that it
is used for any of the functionalities that we would want to provide with
the Simple Distributed Storage. I believe that there is no role of it in
building a distributed storage. Please let me know if there is something
wrong in my understanding.

I haven’t yet thought much about what all features to implement in the
project. On the implementation end, I have started trying to mimic into
Julia, my Distributed Storage implementation in java. My plan was to try
implementing and understand my comfort with Julia, parallely discuss about
what all can go into the features of the project with anyone who could
guide me through.

Could anyone elaborate a little on these lines, wrt to implementation
details?

   1.

   The underlying engine for persistent storage should be generic and
   interoperable with any reasonable choice of binary blob storage mechanism?
   2.

   Is the focus mainly on  storing DArrays objects  and Files or is the
   expected project scope beyond this?


Thanks,

Soujanya Ponnapalli.

 Hey Soujanya,

 Glad to have your interest! I don't know a lot about this project
 personally, but you might be interested to take a look at the recent work
 on ComputeFramework.jl ,
 which is in a similar area. Getting stuck in over there would be a great
 way to meet potential mentors and get a hard start on the project.

 Cheers,
 Mike

Hello,

I think ComputeFramework is not a good starting point for this project,
it's meant to be used for computing on large matrices and such. Amit (cc'd
here) has thought about distributed dictionaries and will have more inputs
on your project.

I would say you should start by listing the features you would like to have
in such a package and then figuring out some implementation plan. You
should look at the documentation on the parallel computing primitives in
Julia http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/parallel-computing/ since
it's likely you will use them as the basic building blocks.

Thanks

Hello!

I've started taking a look at the package ComputeFramework.jl. I have a few
queries and would want some information regarding them.

Could you tell me how I could get in touch with potential mentors for this
project? Is it the case that there are a few fixed mentors amongst which
one shall get convinced to mentor me, or is it that anyone with domain
specific knowledge and experience in Julia can mentor me on this project?

Looking forward to hear from you,
Soujanya Ponnapalli.

For something ComputeFramework related, it's likely that Shashi Gowda would
be interested in mentoring. You could try opening issues for queries as
well. We're flexible about mentoring if you have someone in mind, but in
general we'll try to match proposals with people who are known to the
community.
