Linuxcon Performance roundup

[Federico Lucifredi]

Hello Computing Performance,
Here are the performnce-related items from Linuxcon 2010 (Boston).

Darren delivered his performance tuning seminar - the writeup for it
is below. I was not able to attend, so perhaps he may comment on what
case studies in there are new(er) for those of us who attended the
session in the past.

I was also given a copy of the LF324 Linux Performance Tuning manuals
(the Linux Foundation official training), and I am tearing through it.
For a version 1.0 it looks promising, although the most obvious
consideration is that this is material aimed at giving you the systems
background you need to tune things in a cognizant matter -- if you
already know how the relevant part of the Linux innards work, this is
too low-level for you. Perhaps it should be followed by a second,
higher-level, course -- maybe someone on the list could pitch the
foundation the idea and/or volunteer to do it?

Here is the link to the existing course. The materials are
restricted, you only get them if you pay for the course (the
Foundation uses the courses to raise funding - it is only fair).

If anyone happens to know who wrote the LF324 manual, please let me
know -- I have a bit of errata to send over :)
