Session

Why User Space Sucks

Dave Jones, Red Hat

Track: Linux
Date: Thursday, July 26
Time: 5:20pm - 6:05pm
Location: Portland 251

This talk covers common issues with applications running in user space that negatively impact system performance. We will walk through a set of programs that run on Linux today, and use them as an example of how "not" to write an application, and demonstrate how to profile your application to make sure you are not guilty of any of the same infractions.
