I am needing some help to find directions that I can further investigate to define an adequate research problem for my master's thesis. I spent months looking over the literature in my field and while I have had some ideas, they were not sufficiently interesting to pique the interest of my supervisor. He has not yet suggested a clearer direction/topic either -- so I am trying to explore all avenues and seek ideas/suggestions for problems situated at the intersection of programming language design and performance library API design/domain specific languages and performance program analysis and performance for software development tooling I welcome any advice on finding a topic. Unfortunately in as far as talking to my supervisor about it, I did several times but it has not improved the situation and I do not feel that further discussion will lead to a different outcome. I feel I am receiving a lot of mixed messaging with respect to next steps and I do not know where to turn.
