Linux Performance BOF
This Performance BOF will include a general discussion on Linux performance. Discussions will cover various benchmarks, both micro and macro benchmarks, used to characterize and improve Linux performance and scalability. Some of these benchmarks include SPECjAppServer, SPECjbb2000 and Trade. We will discuss the various components of the Linux kernel stressed by these benchmarks and the methodologies used for isolating and addressing any performance issues.
In addition, Linux changes occur very quickly in the open source community. In most instances, there is a strong need to quickly collect and share performance data and analysis. However, there may be some instances where good, quality performance data collection and analysis take longer than the short turnaround required for maximum impact regarding newly released patches. We plan to discuss the most effective methodology for impacting Linux performance in a rapidly changing Linux open source community environment.
