Intel is working on early implementation where the microcode blob would be appended to the initrd image. The kernel would scan for the appropiate magic constant and load the microcode very early.

Unreviewed Project Ideas

Rules and Advice for Adding Ideas

  • Be creative
  • Use the Template:GSoC Project template to encode ideas on this page. Please read the Template Documentation before you do so.
  • Be specific: what do you want to be implemented; if at all possible provide an indication of size and complexity as described above to make it easier for a student to choose ideas
  • If you are willing to mentors those ideas, add your name and email to the idea.
  • If you're an interested student, add your name and email next to the idea. It is ok to have several students interested by one idea.
  • Aspiring students need to get in touch with the xen.org community manager via community.manager@xen.org to register their interest
