The Linux Plumbers 2015 microconference – Performance and Scalability track focuses on scalability, both upwards and downwards as well as up and down the stack. There are quite a few active projects and efforts of a wide range that aim at enhanncing performance and scalability both in the Linux kernel and in user-space projects. In fact, one of the purposes of this forum is for developers from different projects to meet and collaborate – both kernel developers and researchers, doing more experimental work. After all, for the user to see good performance and scalability, all relevant projects must perform and scale well.
Because performance and scalability are very generic topics, this track is aimed at issues that are not addressed in other, more specific sessions, such as networking.
The structure will be similar to what was followed the previous years (2011, 2012 and 2013): about 30 minutes per subject with discussion.
Please put your name here if you'd like to attend, so that we can confirm who's coming. This includes interested folks not in the key attendees list.
The schedule of the 2015 Tracing Plumbers Microconference is as follows. Note presentation slides can be found on the Plumbers page by following the links to the abstracts:
This is a good place to record notes from your session. All too often, if notes were not written down, the session might as well not have happened.
