Re: [Qemu-devel] Multi-threaded TCG Projects [GSoC 2016]

[Subhashish Pradhan]

Hello again!

I skimmed a bit through the recommended reading list; I would scan them this weekend. I would also like to hack on and understand the code. Are there any small tasks or bug reports that I can start with?

I presume I would have to work with these[1] source repositories not the main qemu git repository, right?

I haven't worked with ARM before, but I have knowledge abut computer architectures and microprocessors thanks to the university courses last semester. Should I learn ARM ISA and stuff from the relevant documents? Do I also need a board or can it be emulated on QEMU?

Plus there are a five projects in MTTCG - which one is essential/basic in nature and needs to be done?
Global TCG State, Shared Cache, Dirty Tracking, Memory Consistency, Instruction Atomicity.

Cheers,

Subhashish Pradhan

P.S. - I didn't get the time(GMT) when you usually hang out on the IRC.

Either #qemu or #qemu-gsoc is OK. #qemu-gsoc is a little lower traffic
and focused on GSoC like questions - others may jump in to help with
answers to wider questions about GSoC.
