[GSoC] GSoC weekly status report: parallel I/O and JRuby

[Clayton Wheeler]

Hi all,

This week's status report is a double feature:

http://csw.github.com/bioruby-maf/blog/2012/06/13/jruby_support_and_performance_work/
http://csw.github.com/bioruby-maf/blog/2012/06/21/parallel_io/

In short, I now have JRuby fully supported by my MAF code, including the Kyoto Cabinet components. Using JRuby, I've been able to deliver very solid performance for index-driven random access parsing as well as for sequential whole-file parsing.
