Hello everybody,
I am Vineet Garg, final year under-grad in Computer Engineering at Delhi
Technological University, India. As a part of college project work, me and
my friend has decided to work with HPX community.
To get started we have already built HPX source code and tried some
examples, read paper on ParallelX and some theses given under publications
sections. Also watched C++ summer lecture series by Hartmut. We decided to
select a project given under GSOC project ideas list. Although starting
directly a big project seems a bit difficult so we want to start with
something easy. Can anyone assign us any junior job that can be completed
nearly within a week.
I have a PC and laptop connected over LAN, can I make a HPX cluster out of
them(Just out of curiosity). Is there any doc pointing that how to do it or
is it similar to MPI ?
Further tips and suggestions to speed up the process so that we can start
ASAP will be helpful.
Regards
Vineet

Yah, a project for a week mean you select something really small. Calculating
the Mandelbrot fractal (or any other of those fractals) in parallel would be a
nice starting project, for instance. If you build it such that you can control
the number of pixels calculated by one HPX-thread from the command line you'd
be able to do a nice grain-size analysis. This would give you a deep insight
into the complex interplay of parallelism on one hand and the SLOW factors on
the other hand (SLOW: Starvation, Latencies, Overheads, Waiting for contention
resolution).

That's a bit more involved, but sure possible. As a start you can run several
HPX Localities on the same machine, which counts as a distributed run of sorts
as well.

Others might chime in with other ideas, but I hope this helps to get you
started.
Also, I saw you've joined our IRC channel. This is good as it gives you a
perfect opportunity to ask questions.
Regards Hartmut
