Cristian, thanks for reaching out to me directly. I'm CC'ing hpx-users here and I'd suggest you to subscribe to that list yourself as we keep all of our GSoC discussions on this list.

I don't think it would be reasonable to expect anything on par with Hadoop (which is production quality software) from a short GSoC project. > Secondly, I would like you to tell me more things about Newtonian physics > sandbox.

For speed: please take a look at my exchange with Aleksandr Sofienko on this project on the hpx-users list (archive for March). Please feel free if you have any further questions.
