<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div style>I am Ravi Teja Mullapudi. I am interested in the project "Add Thread Support to Parallel Index Sets". <span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">I am currently enrolled as a Masters Student at the </span><a href="http://mcl.csa.iisc.ernet.in/" target="_blank" style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Multicore Computing Lab</a><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. Easing communication generation is one of the topics I am interested in. I have worked on scaling stencil computations and linear algebra kernels on our local cluster (MPI+OpenMP). I am recently working on implementing the same algorithms in a higher level abstraction <a href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-concurrent-collections-for-cc">Intel Concurrent Collections</a>, it allows for defining the communication pattern via dependencies and the communication happens behind the scenes. I think the abstraction created by Parallel Index Sets has similarities.</font></div>
<div style><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style><font face="arial, sans-serif">Is there a particular reason that the thread support that you want implemented has to be done using POSIX threads or C+11 thread features?. OpenMP might also be a reasonable alternative and if the workload is not easy to partition statically <a href="http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/">Thread Building Blocks</a> is a very good candidate.</font></div>
<div style><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style><font face="arial, sans-serif">Can you please let me know what steps I should take to make a strong application for the project?</font></div><div style>
