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. the eventual choice of project should be
based on what *shaneed* wants, not what other people tell him he
should be doing.
He shouldn't do research to find out what would be useful, just
something of interest to him? He listed some areas in which he has an
interest, he got a suggestion on where he look for a project, not a
project description handed to him.
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.
I agree that "pick something interesting, useful or not" is a part of
the academic process, but I would never imply that it was a desirable
thing. Asking for areas where work would be useful seems like valid
research to me.
