I need your help to pilot me to the place that I can start from

It's already implemented in

sphinx4/src/research/edu/cmu/sphinx/research/distributed

I want to write code

And what stops you then? Don't ask too much dumb questions here, open the IDE
and start writing code instead, that's it. If you need some introduction, take
software development course, there are many of them online.

This one for example

I mean by my Question that is there any suggestion about some methods and
classes sphinx4 want to add so I can help in developing them , and is there
any specific location to put my code and any specific protocol , and when do
sphinx4 accept my changes

To start contribution you might want to fix simple things first. That will let
you start quickly. For example, try to solve this problem

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1756023&group_id=1904&atid=3
51904

and submit a patch. Once patch will have acceptable quality it will be
included into main tree.
