Hello, I'm a computer science student who intent to work on PyPy for
my M.Sc. thesis.
I have been a passionate Python programmer for seven years, and I
additionally knows C, C++, Java, Oz, Lisp and Assembler.
My academic interests are algorithms, compilers and evolutionary
algorithms, and I have completed classes which covers these topics,
which means I know what compilers does and why, and the optimizations
they can do.
I'm pleased that I have been allowed to focus my thesis on PyPy, but I
don't yet know what the scope of my thesis will be. At the moment
numpy support in PyPy looks interesting, and I have read the
blogs/mails regarding this topic.
Welcome to the project! It would be great if your thesis topic would be
numpy support, that's a feature we really want to have. If you have any
questions or need any help, please tell us.
I won't start any actual work on my thesis until the new year, but I
hope to spend summer and autumn getting familiar with the project and
contributing in any way I can.
So far I have only read through the dev docs, and compiled PyPy from
source (which took 4.6 hours with cpython and 3.7h with pypy on my
laptop).
Note that in practice we rarely do translations on our own machines, but
use our build servers. If you need access to one of these machines,
please ask on the IRC channel.
Cheers,
Carl Friedrich
