Hi Christos, This is Charles Cui from Tsinghua University, China. I am pretty interested in the ideas listed in GSOC 2016 page on NetBSD, especially the idea "Get the open source POSIX test suite working on NetBSD". For my PhD program in Tsinghua University, I focus on operating system scalability and performance on multicore processors. One of my jobs is to design the benchmark suite to stress kinds of operating system interfaces from user level and analyze performance. Actually, I have done some work like this and I believe that I have the confidence and ability to do this well. Besides, I speak fluent English and I am full available during the whole summer. I am wondering whether I can join this project and work with you guys? In case the project is allocated to other people, I am also free to pick other project in NetBSD.
Thanks, Charles.
