Re: [pypy-dev] master thesis with pypy
safethread sound like something interesting. are there already any safthread ideas in pypy? In general, working on GILless ideas sounds more interesting than doing something on multiprocess framworks. It's a master thesis, that means there is room for experimental stuff, but in the end half a year is quite short, so the room is limited again :) was there any attempt to remove the GIL in pypy so far? -- Severin On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 6:21 PM, Seo Sanghyeon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2008/8/27 Severin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: We started to talk about what we could do and what would be interesting for us.

I think any serious GIL-removal proposal requires some deeper thinking about what exactly are the expected semantics.

Re: [pypy-dev] master thesis with pypy
Hello. Can you explain a bit in which direction would you like to go? Or is the topic vague for a reason to experiment a bit? Would you rather want say, create some GILless locking mechanism in pypy or rather implement some cool multi-process framework based on what is done already?
