AGENDA:

19:00 – 20:00 – presentation and Q&A (in person & online)
20:00 – 21:00 – informal discussion over food and drinks

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

The Linux kernel has control over everything that occurs in the system, hence it knows everything. If you want to see exactly what is happening, you have to ask the kernel, but how can you do this?

Ftrace is the official tracer of the kernel. This is an extremely powerful instrument, which allows you to shed light into every hidden corner of the kernel. The Ftrace data can be a valuable source of information, when trying to study the performance of a system. On the other hand, reading the raw tracing data in a text format is hard and having a UI, which provides interactive visualization of this data can be extremely useful.

In this talk we will present the new, upgraded version of KernelShark. It is optimized for efficient processing of significantly larger amounts of trace data and will come with reinforced analysis toolkit. The work on KernelShark will be presented in the context of our long term goal to develop instrumentation for studying the behavior of multiple Linux VMs, concurrently running and sharing resources on the same physical host.

Cannot attend in person? No worries, you can also join us online – LIVE STREAMING details will follow shortly.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
