Upcoming Events
Additional early bird slots available for LPC 2019
There a few more early bird slots available for the Linux Plumbers Conference, which will be held September 9-11 in Lisbon, Portugal. Regular registration opens July 1.Tracing Microconference Accepted into 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference
The Tracing Microconference has been accepted into this year's LPC, which takes place September 9-11 in Lisbon, Portugal. "There's a broad list of ways to perform Tracing in Linux. From the original mainline Linux tracer, Ftrace, to profiling tools like perf, more complex customized tracing like BPF and out-of-tree tracers like LTTng, systemtap, and Dtrace. Part of the trouble with tracing within Linux is that there is so much to choose from. Each of these have their own audience, but there is a lot of overlap. This year's theme is to find those common areas and combine them into common utilities."
