GSOC 2026 : Reference implementation of concore in Julia

[Titas-Ghosh]

Hi @pradeeban ,

My name is Titas Ghosh, and I am writing to express my strong interest in the "Reference Implementation for concore Library in Julia" project .My background includes building AI-integrated systems (such as the EcoSentry wildfire prediction system) and developing robust backend logic in Python and C++.

I have been working with Julia for a while and am fascinated by its potential for high-performance scientific computing. I am eager to apply my skills to expand concore's ecosystem to the Julia community.

I have gone through the CONTROL-CORE documentation and understand that concore functions as a decentralized, file-based data sharing protocol to simulate closed-loop neuromodulation systems without a centralized broker.

To prepare for this contribution, I have started analyzing the concore-lite repository, as the documentation suggests it is the best starting point to learn the protocol logic in isolation.

I have a quick question regarding the implementation approach: Since the core protocol relies on file sharing to bridge languages (like Python and C++), should the Julia reference implementation strictly mirror the file I/O blocking logic used in the Python version, or are you open to utilizing Julia-specific concurrency features (like Channels or Tasks) where applicable, provided they maintain compatibility with the standard protocol?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Best regards,
Titas Ghosh

Hello @pradeeban ,

My name is Ganesh Yuvraj Patil, and I’m a 2nd-year BTech Computer Science student at Pimpri Chinchwad University, India.

I have a strong interest in open-source development, especially in building and maintaining systems that solve real-world problems. My experience includes full-stack development, basic DevOps, and system design, and I’m currently exploring system-level concepts and performance-oriented programming.

I also have hands-on open-source experience. I’ve contributed to multiple projects under the Apache Software Foundation, where I resolved issues that were reviewed and successfully merged. This experience helped me understand large codebases, follow community-driven workflows, and collaborate through public discussions and code reviews.

I’m particularly interested in Project 11: A Reference Implementation for the concore Library in Julia. The idea of creating a faithful Julia reference implementation that aligns with the existing Python-based concore architecture is something I find both challenging and exciting. I’m currently studying the concore codebase to understand its core abstractions, control-flow design, and cross-language structure.

I’m excited about the possibility of contributing under Google Summer of Code 2026, learning from the mentors, and collaborating closely with the community. I strongly appreciate the project’s emphasis on open, static, discussion-based communication, which aligns well with how I prefer to work.

I look forward to learning more, contributing meaningfully, and engaging in technical discussions.
Thank you for the warm welcome — I’m happy to be here!
