Hi all, I'm a software engineer with 3-years of experience. I did my M.tech from Delhi Technical University in Power Electronics and B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra. I have studied OS from OSTEP book (https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP) and completed A Beginner's Guide to Linux Kernel Development (LFD103) https://trainingportal.linuxfoundation.org/courses/a-beginners-guide-to-linux-kernel-development-lfd103. I want to learn more on Operating Systems and contribute to open-source. I was reading the freebsd wiki and I'm able to set up a FreeBSD virtual machine in my Linux+QEMU setup, and boot it successfully. I want to participate in GSoC and I was looking at FreeBSD docs and found freebsd has missing support in NUMA ( https://wiki.freebsd.org/NUMA). I have some experience of NUMA through online OS courses, and I know that NUMA is very important for server workload performance and horizontal scaling. Is there any problem statement that I can target in NUMA for GSoC. I would be grateful to have guidance and mentorship on this topic. Thank you for your time and consideration. Any guidance on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Tanya
