> I tried creating my own matrix power function using Python before, I used 
data parallelism(tiling), task parallelism(using topology) and pipelining 
parallelism(using lowered dependency).

As you say, attacking all levels of parallelism is very ambitious. However, 
I think working on just one of these parallelism structures would make for 
a good summer project. I would recommend you to pick one of these 
approaches and apply it to a widely used computation such as matrix-matrix 
multiplication.

I had a look at your Python implementation

https://github.com/usefulhyun/parallel_mmm/blob/master/prllmpow/prllmpow.py

and it is quite hard to understand. If you can translate the essential 
parts into Julia and show how you can use features like Julia types and 
overloading of Julia's generic functions like * to make the code readable 
yet efficient, then I think we can make a good case for your participation 
in the Google Summer of Code. Without a Julia code sample to evaluate, it 
is quite difficult to make a strong case for participation.
