# gRPC Summer of Code Project Ideas |
||||
|
||||
C Core: |
||||
Hello students! |
||||
|
||||
1. Port gRPC to one of (Free, Net, Open) BSD platforms and create packages for them. Add kqueue support in the process. |
||||
2. Fix gRPC C-core's URI parser. The current parser does not qualify as a standard parser according to [RFC3986]( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). Write test suites to verify this and make changes necessary to make the URI parser compliant. |
||||
3. HPACK compression efficiency evaluation - Figure out how to benchmark gRPC's compression efficiency (both in terms of bytes on the wire and cpu cycles). Implement benchmarks. Potentially extend this to other standalone implementations -- Java and Go. |
||||
We want gRPC to be the universal protocol for all computing platforms and |
||||
paradigms, so while these are our ideas of what we think would make good |
||||
projects for the summer, we're eager to hear your ideas and proposals as well. |
||||
Try us out and get to know the gRPC code and team! |
||||
|
||||
**Required skills for all projects:** git version control, collaborative |
||||
software development on github.com, and software development in at least one |
||||
of gRPC's ten languages on at least one of Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. |
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
gRPC C Core: |
||||
|
||||
1. Port gRPC to one of the major BSD platforms ([FreeBSD](https://freebsd.org), [NetBSD](https://netbsd.org), and [OpenBSD](https://openbsd.org)) and create packages for them. Add kqueue support in the process. |
||||
* **Required skills:** C programming language, BSD operating system. |
||||
* **Likely mentors:** [Craig Tiller](https://github.com/ctiller), [Nicolas Noble](https://github.com/nicolasnoble). |

||||
* **Required skills:** C programming language, HTTP standard compliance. |
||||
* **Likely mentors:** [Craig Tiller](https://github.com/ctiller). |
||||
1. HPACK compression efficiency evaluation - Figure out how to benchmark gRPC's compression efficiency (both in terms of bytes on the wire and cpu cycles). Implement benchmarks. Potentially extend this to other full-stack gRPC implementations (Java and Go). |
||||
* **Required skills:** C programming language, software performance benchmarking, potentially Java and Go. |
||||
* **Likely mentors:** [Craig Tiller](https://github.com/ctiller). |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
gRPC Python: |
||||
|
||||
1. Evaluate the port of gRPC's Python implementation to PyPy. Investigate the state of [Cython support](http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/pypy.html) to do this or potentially explore cffi |
||||
2. Develop and test Python 3.5 Support for gRPC. Make necessary changes to port gRPC and package it for supported platforms. |
||||

||||
* **Required skills:** Python programming language, PyPy Python interpreter. |
||||
* **Likely mentors:** [Nathaniel Manista](https://github.com/nathanielmanistaatgoogle), [Masood Malekghassemi](https://github.com/soltanmm). |

|
||||
gRPC Ruby/Java: |
||||
|
||||
1. jRuby support for gRPC. Develop a jRuby wrapper for gRPC based on grpc-java and ensure that it is API compatible with the existing Ruby implementation and passes all tests. |

Other: |
||||
gRPC Wire Protocol: |
||||
|
||||
1. Develop a Wireshark plugin for the gRPC protocol. Provide documentation and tutorials for this plugin. Bonus: consider set-up and use with the mobile clients. |
