Hi,

My name is Catalin Vasile and I want to participate with a project for qemu
at GSoC.
>From what I understand from the rules, I can participate with things I
could also use for my college projects.
This is my last bachelor year and I'm doing my diploma project, which is
related to virtualization, more specific qemu-kvm.
I'm trying to do a paravirtualized device using virtio and vhost.
I've already done some work.
To be more exact, I want to make a virtio-crypto device to emulate a
virtual cryptographic offloading device that will send jobs from the guest
to a vhost that will process the jobs. This mechanism will link CryptoAPI
from the guest to the CryptoAPI from the host. This way, whatever it's
beneath CryptoAPI from the host will be used as offloading for the guest.
Is there a mentor interested in getting involved in this kind of project?

Hi Catalin, what accelerator are you targeting specifically?
