Hi,
This is a request for Linux kernel related project ideas.
I am Computer Science Engineering final year student. We have to do
a project of one year duration . I formed a group of two and we
decided to do a project in Linux kernel. Our interests are in Virtual
memory management, file system, process scheduling and load balancing
in Linux clusters. Last year we did a study of Linux's page
replacement mechanism. As I am not experienced as you people, please
suggest me some ideas.
Just for an example:
Checkout what filesystem / caching / scheduling policy is most
suitable for Solid State PATA/SATA Flashdisks and write / modify
a kernel scheduler to support it.
i'm not sure that it's appropriate for LKML folks to be giving anyone
suggestions for projects.
I don't care so much. The answer should have been a hint that
just some minutes ago, we had a thread on this list about
Solid State Flash disks... it could be interesting to
spend some brain cells in that area - just for an example
...and there are so many.
> the eventual choice of project should be
based on what *shaneed* wants, not what other people tell him he
should be doing.
Propably he doesn't know yet what he wants?
in addition, sometimes part of the work involved in a school project
involves doing enough research to just make the *choice*. what
shaneed is asking is that others do that work for him. IMHO, he
should be told politely but firmly that selecting a topic is *his*
problem. that's just part of the academic process.
Asking people with more experience what's needed is in my point
of view also a reasonably academic process to make progress in the
right direction. IMHO that's one of the main reasons why
open projects work.
