+## Project Title: Improving the volk-gnsssdr library
+### Description:
+
+**Medium project (175 h)**
+
+This project aims to improve [volk-gnsssdr](https://github.com/gnss-sdr/gnss-sdr/next/main/src/algorithms/libs/volk_gnsssdr_module/volk_gnsssdr), the Vector-Optimized Library of Kernels for GNSS-SDR. This library provides SIMD-optimized implementations of essential signal processing functions (named *kernels* in this context) for efficient execution on modern processors.
+
+
+* **Objectives:** During the summer, the focus will be on:
+
+  - Identifying performance-critical kernels that significantly impact GNSS-SDR execution speed.
+  - Implementing missing SIMD optimizations by adding NEON (for ARM architectures) and RISC-V vector extensions to existing kernels.
+  - Benchmarking and validating improvements to ensure enhanced performance and correctness across different hardware platforms. *No physical access to those hardware platforms is required.*
+* **Expected outcomes:** By the end of the project, volk-gnsssdr will have broader SIMD coverage, improving the efficiency of GNSS-SDR on ARM and RISC-V architectures, making it more portable and performant for diverse GNSS applications.
+
+
+### Required skills:
+Applicants should have a solid understanding of numerical computations and be proficient in C programming.
