- Subject: GSoC - Multithreaded linker
Hi all,
I'm interested in applying for Google Summer of Code and wanted to work in
some project in the area of parallel/multi-core programming. Looking
through the GCC GSoC Wiki page I found a subject that sounds really
interesting to me in the "Speed Up" section: Multithreaded linker.
Could anyone give me more information about this:
a) what is the idea (to parallel the current linker or build one from
scratch)
b) how complicated it is
c) what are the requirements
I just completed my undergraduate course in Computer Science and had just
started a graduate course, so I have some background in compilers and also
parallel programing.
Thanks,
Daniel
