Welcome I currently work in Solaris Kernel Development at Sun Microsystems. My projects over the last 1 1/2 years include: Solaris port to AMD64 platforms, for which we won the 2005 Chairman's Award. Improved write performance by 80-120% on AMD64 as measured by libMicro. Got -save_args option implemented by Sun Studio compilers for AMD64 so that function arguments passed via register are available to the debugger (more on this later). Improved debugability on AMD64 in general. Prior to this new adventure in x86 land, I spent 6 1/2 years working in Sun's Enterprise Server Group, mostly on the SunFire 4800-6800 product line (Code name Serengeti). I designed and implemented POST (Power On Self Test) Parts of the System Controller software (test sequencer, domain console and domain communication channel) The Solaris driver for communicating with the system controller The Solaris drivers for DR (Dynamic Reconfiguration). Prior to Sun I worked at Intel, and still have fond memories of the Pentium II launch party held at OMSI. In addition to my day job, I also play mommy for two wonderful young children. When at times I exclaimed, "I found the bug!", my son would respond with the same enthusiasm, "Did you kill it?".
