Canberra Linux Users Group Meeting - 24th June 2010
===================================================
Date: 24th June 2010 (Fourth Thursday of the month)
Time: 19:00 - 21:00 (or when it finishes)
Speaker: Ian Munsie
Abstract: Numerous technologies exist for profiling and tracing
live Linux systems - from the traditional and straight
forward gProf and strace to the more elaborate
SystemTap, oProfile and the Linux Trace Toolkit. Very
recently some new technologies, perf events and ftrace,
have appeared that can already largely take the place of
these traditional tools and have gained mainline
acceptance in the Linux community - meaning that they
will become more and more relevant in the future and are
already being used to shed light on real world
performance issues.
This talk presents an overview of a number of the more
noteworthy instrumentation tools available for Linux and
the technologies that they build upon. Some examples of
using perf events to analyse a running system to help
track down real world performance problems will be
demonstrated.
Venue: Room N101
