Tuesday September 25, 2007 [SVOSUG] Kernel TCP/IP evolution, Thurs., Sept. 27th, 7:30pm
This Thursday, Silicon Valley OpenSolaris User Group is proud to have Erik Nordmark back, one of Sun's Distinguished Engineers giving a presentation on the Kernel TCP/IP evolution. There's a lot of nice stuff that is going on in the OpenSolaris kernel in regards to networking, with efforts to make the code more understandable, lower the latency, and a variety of API
changes including the Crossbow technology that will bring virtual NICs. We have been fortunate to hear about some of this technology. Some has gone back recentely, and some will be putback shortly. Erik spoke on IP instances about a year ago, and Sunay Tripathi spoke on Crossbow just before that. These technologies also play an important role with Xen, which went back in build 75.
In addition, Tom Kirkley, of the compiler group will be giving a short presentation on the Automatic Tuning and Troubleshooting System (ATS) which is a binary reoptimization and recompilation tool that be be used for tuning and troubleshooting applications, without the use of the original source code. ATS slides are available at this link.
