[Qemu-devel] GSoC 2016: Introductory email

[Pranith Kumar <bobby.prani@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I've been selected to participate in GSoC 2016 in the Qemu project. I will be
mentored by Alex Bennée and will be working on solving memory consistency
issues in the MTTCG project. In particular we are targeting to get ARM guests
working on x86 hosts as a first step by adding TCG support to generate memory
fence instructions at appropriate locations.

Introducing myself, I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech and am really
passionate about open source software. I use linux and am starting to learn
emacs(thanks Alex :), even though I've been using it with configurations found
online. I've previously contributed some patches to the linux kernel and
worked on open source architectural simulators as part of my grad work. You
can find me on IRC(username: pranith) where I except to bother all of you
during the coming months.

I plan to occasionally blog about my work. You can find it here:
https://pranith.github.io/blog/. All comments/suggestions/advice are welcome.

I am really glad that I got this opportunity to be part of the Qemu community
and look forward to a productive summer!

Thanks!
