INTRODUCTION:
-------------

Our Field Trip to Novell on The SUSE Real-Time Linux Kernel
is scheduled for next week on 19-MAR-2009 (3rd Thursday).

At last year's SIFMA show, Novell showed off their SUSE Real-Time
Linux Kernel and demonstrated how various financial applications
benefited from the reduction in latency that it can provide
(imagine the speed improvements possible by reducing the latency
inherently found between parallel and/or clustered applications).
At the March Unigroup meeting, hosted by Novell, we hope to learn
about the Real-Time Linux Kernel, its features, and how it may be
tuned to provide performance enhancements for various
real-world applications.

Unigroup's next meeting will be in May 2009, topic to be announced.

MAIN PRESENTATION
-----------------

Topic: Implementing Low Latency Systems
with the SUSE Real-Time Linux Kernel

Introduction/Outline:

Innovative enterprises today are increasingly using Linux-based real
time operating systems and commodity off the shelf components to cost
effectively create ultra low latency environments. Based on the
popular SUSE Linux Enterprise platform, SUSE Linux Enterprise Real
Time is fully supported real time operating system specifically
engineered to reduce the latency and increase the reliability and
predictability of time-sensitive mission-critical applications and
processes. It is a very flexible solution that incorporates a large
number of variables and knobs that can be turned to dedicate resources
and/or increase throughput. Please join us for both dinner and
entertainment - a interactive technical session covering topics like
CPU shielding, thread priorities, and I/O tuning, things you can
use to create a high throughput, highly predictable and responsive
system. Bring your notebooks and your questions, and get some hands
on experience with setting up and configuring SUSE Linux Enterprise
Real Time.

More details to be [hopefully] announced soon.
