I would be great if you can publish the evaluation once it is finished. Please let me know if you need a reviewer.

an independent set of test cases would be good. Currently, the tests and the implementation are from the same person. SMP test code in the test suite must compile and link on all SMP targets. If you plan to submit the code, please plan with enough time for some review/change iterations.

Yes, I am definitely interested.
