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)<http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/9/lock>".
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?
Best Wishes!
