== TraceMonkey Tasks ==
Here are a few pending tasks. Most of them benefit Tamarin-Tracing and TraceMonkey. Tasks that only benefit TraceMonkey are marked with a star(*).
* Setup performance & compliance test framework for shell using a MacMini.(*)
** Skill set: perl, shell scripts and such
** Effort: couple days tops
* Cleanup page allocation code in nanojit.
** Skill set: C/C++, gdb, some understanding of Tamarin would be good
** Effort: 1 week
* Make more JSOPs traceable.(*)
** Skill set: solid experience with SpiderMonkey
** Effort: on-going
* Implement soft-float math in TraceMonkey. The code already exists in Tamarin-Tracing and just needs to be ported over. Coordinate with upstream maintainer to extract soft-float code into a filter and get a patch for that into Tamarin-Tracing.
** Skill set: C/C++, gdb, no fear of ARM assembly
** Effort: 2 weeks
* Add loop-spanning register allocation to nanojit and get patch into Tamarin-Tracing.
** Skill set: C/C++, gdb, experience with compiler construction advisable
** Effort: 2-4 weeks, depending on implementation strategy
* Help Intel with type stability analysis on real-world JS code.
** Skill set: understanding of JS, C/C++
** Effort: 2 weeks
* Port nanojit to PowerPC (lower priority).
** Skill set: solid understanding of architecture issues, C/C++, lots of gdb
** Effort: 4 weeks
