I've recently been given the opportunity to help a professor of mine port some bioinformatics workflows to an HPC cluster. I was wondering if anyone could recommend good literature on this topic and perhaps suggest some worthwhile paths of inquiry that could result in worthwhile research. Thanks.

I'm a CS student who's struggling to find internships, and I think this may be due to the underwhelming state of personal projects on my resumé. At the moment, the main C++ project on my resumé is an implementation of Josh Cates' DHash protocol using Boost ASIO. Can anyone recommend some projects that would help me stand out as a candidate? Right now, I'm considering building a chess engine or a basic SMT solver, though I don't know if employers would find these particularly interesting.

I'm currently a college senior (majoring in CS) who intends to enter grad school after completing my undergraduate degree. I've become very interested in the topic of compilers and am considering writing my master's thesis on some compiler-related topic. What texts and projects can you recommend to gain a deeper understanding of compilers and potentially interesting avenues for research? So far, I have read the Aho and Ullman dragon book, but not much else.
