RAMCloud currently consists of about 6075,000 lines of C++, docs, and unit tests, but is far from complete. There is a lot of research, design, and development work left to be done. Students will be able to work in whatever part of the system interests them. Potential projects include making more pieces of the system multithreaded to increase server throughput, working on a highly-available and durable store for critical cluster state, extending the simple read/write operations with additional operators, and many more. Strong C++ and systems skills are important, though students skilled in C and familiar with similar object-oriented languages like Java should be able to get up to speed quickly.
