I am following this discussion and happy to bat around ideas if there's something that might be appropriate for your course, Aryeh.
Well, is there? Anything that needs to be parallelized, or that's already parallelized but needs significant optimization work (e.g., scales much worse than linearly)?
(suppressing grumbles about diff engine for edit conflicts, probably an algorithm rather than speed issue)
I suspect that the MySQL engine is the one place where parallelism is most applicable, but I am not a MySQL internals guru. However, there is one associated with the project, and I believe on the list. Domas?
