The big topic would seem to be using Geoff Mainland's new simd-ghc support.

Geoff, is that already under way or is it too big a project for a GSOC?
Dmitry, do you already have GHC-internals hacking experience?
That's interesting. I have experience with SIMD (more exactly, SSE) itself from Parallel Programming course I had last year (which included writing SSE implementations of common stuff like DFT). As for GHC hacking, no, but learning in this would be a really interesting goal for me. Perhaps a GHC-related assignment from possible mentor could be a prerequisite for any project proposal from my side, to see how quickly I can dive into certain details of GHC implementation.
