If none suit you, would you have a GSoC project proposal to mind? I'd be happy to mentor any of the projects related to parallelism or concurrency. Ok, I'll add you as a potential mentor to any project I think relates to parallelism or concurrency. Be aware you may be surprised at what I think you interested in :) Thanks Niall.
Some comments:
Boost.Functional / Invoke: This has already been fully implemented by Agustin Berge here: https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/blob/master/hpx/util/invoke.hpp. Feel free to use. There are some implementations of invoke by there, even one in Boost.Thread. My intention is that the project result in a new library in Boost that can be used by the user and other libraries in Boost. I want also that an invoker class be added and take in account a possible invocation_trait in Boost.Thread. Thanks for the offer. Boost.Thread / Work-Stealing-Thread-Pool: This is something already implemented as part of HPX (https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx), we have several work-stealing implementations, FWIW. Feel free to use. Again thanks. The intent is to have this in Boost.
Boost.Thread / Scheduler-Executor: Note that there is a newer document (D3904, sorry I have no direct link), which will be discussed next week in Issaquah and I expect for it to be changed significantly. I'm aware of it. I have proposed on the std-proposal ML to turn the dynamic polymorphism on a static polymorphism, but I have not received any comments from the authors. IMO, the time scheduled operations are orthogonal to the executor and so I propose to have an adaptor that adds
Le 09/02/14 16:47, Hartmut Kaiser a écrit : these operations to any model of Executor.
Boost.Thread / Parallel algorithms: Should that include N3554: http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2013/n3554.pdf?
It could, of course. At least the std::par functions, but I prefer to replace the execution_policy by an Executor. Specializations for a specific executor would always be possible. I've added the reference on the wiki project. Best, Vicente
