This is an old revision of the document!
Thursday we will have lunch at the university cafeteria. Vera reserved a table for 20 +/- some. Food is available for 10,- CHF (7,- CHF if you can provide student-id).
On Friday we will join the tutorial crowd at a restaurant. Menu is 18,- CHF (non-alcoholic drinks included) and we were asked to precollect the money in order to make payment easier.
PHK does a tutorial friday morning.
We will hold the summit at the “Regenzzimmer” in the university. To get there you enter the university building at the main entrance “Petersplatz 1” go up the stairs (big stairway, hard to miss). On the upper level it's just 3 meters straight from the head of the stairs and there should be a sign as well.
Schedule ideas here:
Silby wishes to spend some time talking about how students interact with Fedora / other Linux distros and how this impacts FreeBSD.
45 minutes - Discussion of network polling, device polling, interrupts, and things along those lines.
15 minutes - Discussion of models for parallelism in the network stack – where will adding more threads help, vs hurt. Related to polling discussion.
15 minutes - Formalizing the network stack device driver API – what should and shouldn't be documented as part of the API?
30 minutes - NFSv4 client, server. Do we jump on the NFSv4 bandwagon? Who wants to lend a hand? What do we get out of NFSv4 anyway?
Timekeeping, timecounters, precision and scheduler/resource accounting.
