Hi Sanjoy,
I have a project in mind regarding a sampling profiler for the LuaJIT
VM. Mike Pall has referred to such a thing here:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-04/msg00178.html
To do it properly would take some peeking under the hood of the LuaJIT
VM, some code written in C, and some Lua code using FFI. An initial
implementation would probably take the time-frame you suggest -- the
full realization would take longer, but at least it would have some legs.
I would mentor you on it. If you are interested, contact me off-list.
Regards,
Evan

Hi all,
I'm a software engineer with a keen interest in virtual machines and
related technology. Currently I'm playing around with
state-of-the-art VMs in an attempt to observe, learn and improve.
Can you guys suggest a small bite-sized project I could work on to
familiarize myself with LuaJIT internals? Something that would take
someone with prior VM experience (but no experience with LuaJIT)
around 7-10 days to implement? This way I get my hands dirty with the
source and, if my work is deemed good enough, LuaJIT profits as well.
Thanks!
