Announcing the 2012 Google Summer of Code Students

[Arun Thomas]

Hi all,

Please join us in congratulating the following students who have been
accepted into the 2012 Google Summer of Code program for MINIX 3:

Ambarisha Bhatlapenumarthi - lwIP Support and MINIX Integration
Anton Kuijsten - LLVM-based Fault Injection Tool
Ping Huang - Porting newer GCC, binutils, and GDB and Upstreaming

Thanks to everyone who applied. If you weren't selected this year, we
hope you will stay involved with the MINIX community. There's plenty
of MINIX work to be done.

Finally, thanks to Google for sponsoring this awesome program. We look
forward to another excellent summer of code.

Best,
Arun

Thanks guys!

I'll introduce myself. My name is Anton Kuijsten, and I'm currently finishing my master's thesis on LLVM-based address space layout randomization for Minix services. Before that, I implemented support for gcov (gcc code coverage) for Minix services.

For GSoC '12, I'm going to implement an LLVM-based fault injection tool for Minix servers and drivers, as an alternative to the Software Implemented Fault Injection (SWIFI) tool in Minix. At link time, it will be able to inject various fault types, each with its own probability. Fault injection can be limited to a selection of functions. At run time, a probability can be set to manage global fault occurence, and statistics on fault occurences can be dumped.

I think this will be a fun summer, and seeing how active this group is, I'm sure there will be plenty of feedback and cooperation!

cheers,

Anton.

Hi all,

My name is Ping Huang. I am currently a graduate student (master)
from Toolchain Team in Microprocessor Research and Development Center
(MPRC[1]) of Peking University, China. I'm very glad to be a GSoC
student in Minix project. This summer, I am going to port the newer
GNU Toolchain, that is, binutils-2.22, gcc-4.7.0, and gdb-7.4 to Minix
3.
My previous work is based on UniCore-II, a 32-bit RISC CPU and
UniCore-III, a 64-bit RISC CPU[2], both architectures are designed and
developed by our center. During my study in MPRC, I spent most of time
on porting GNU Toolchain to UniCore. As a key member, I succeeded to
port gcc-4.4.2 to UniCore-III from May 2011 to March 2012. Before
that, I assisted in porting binutils-2.19.1 and glibc-2.9 to
UniCore-III. In addition, I ported the feature of Reversible Debugging
of gdb-7.1 to UniCore-II, as the main part of my bachelor thesis.
Although I have not got involved into the MINIX project before, I
think the relative experience on GNU Toolchain gives me confidence to
complete this project.
I like Open Source Movement and agree the philosophy of Open
Source. This is my first time to work with a open source community. I
will try my best to finish my project. Look forward to the summer!

Cheers,
Ping

Hi,

I am Ambarish. I am a 3rd year undergrad. I will be working on
improving LwIP integration into MINIX as a part of GSoC over the
summer. Networking and operating systems are my interests and I, sure,
am going to enjoy working here over the summer. My project is about
completing LwIP integration and then adding some features like IPv6
support, multiple raw sockets, NPF support etc. I will finish up the
wiki page for the project in a few days. Please feel free to engage me
over anything regarding my project anytime during the summer.

Congratulations to Ping and Anton.

Cheers
Ambarish
