Diffs are fast enough if you use wikidiff2, no? > I suspect that the MySQL engine is the one place where parallelism is > most applicable, but I am not a MySQL internals guru.

Yes, parallelism is very applicable to databases, which is why they've already had tons of effort invested by people who know a lot more about the topic than me, so I probably can't do much there. To clarify, the subject needs to 1) be reasonably doable in a short timeframe, 2) not build on top of something that's already too optimized. It should probably either be a new project; or an effort to parallelize something that already exists, isn't parallel yet, and isn't too complicated. So far I have the password-cracking thing, maybe dbzip2, and maybe some unspecified thing involving dumps. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
