The point here is to convert the currently statically linked thread schedulers in HPX into separate modules which can be loaded at runtime as needed. Some of this work has already be done in the code, but most of the required refactoring is still to be done. This is a nice GSoC project as it is not too hard, does not require too intimate knowledge of HPX, but at the same time, might have a big impact on HPX's usability. You might want to start with checking out HPX, building it, making the examples run. You might want to dig into what HPX actually is (read the docs and publications) to get an idea what we try to achieve. Once you have a better understanding you should start to look into HPX itself to understand the current structure and to understand how schedulers are built into it today. > Also, I would like to know if there is any Qualification task like > submitting patch that we need to do . Well, you will have to write a proposal and submit it through the GSoC website for us to evaluate. You'd be well advised to start with that as soon as possible in close discussion with us. These discussions can happen either on the hpx-users mailing list or on our IRC channel.
