Hi all,
As you may have seen, Google have assigned the PCP organisation 2 student
"slots" for projects over the summer. Our PCP mentors had the difficult
decision of selecting the students we'd take on, from 9 proposals.
In the end we chose Sitaram ("PCP versions of console tools" project) and
Suyash ("Implementation of the PCP instrumentation API in golang"), CC'd.
Sitaram will be mentored by Ryan Doyle, Mark Goodwin and Ken McDonell.
The project involves extending htop(1), and creating new pcp-pidstat(1)
and pcp-mpstat(1) tools, using the PMAPI.
Suyash will be building a native Go language implementation for the Memory
Mapped Values (MMV) instrumentation interface - what Parfait is for Java,
Suyash's project will aim to provide for Go. Lukas Berk, myself and Owen
Butler will be mentoring Suyash's work.
They'll be beginning the development work soon, so please continue to make
them feel welcome, and help them out if you see requests for information or
assistance on the PCP mailing list or IRC channel. If you are a potential
user of either of the above projects, or are interested in trying out the
new code, please send a note to one of the mentors and we will let you know
when code is available.
Thanks to all the students who submitted proposals, and all the mentors and
organisation administrators for making everything run so smoothly so far.
Here's to a great summer of code, with lots learned for all involved!
cheers.
