Subject: {BAFUG-C} IA-64 Linux talk at Stanford March 1
Computer Systems Laboratory Colloquium
4:15PM, Wednesday, March 1, 1999
NEC Auditorium, Gates Computer Science Building B03
IA-64 Linux Kernel Internals
David Mosberger, Walt Drummond
HP Labs, VA Linux Systems
About the talk:
The Trillian Project was formed in early 1999 to port the Linux operating
system to the IA-64 architecture. The project currently includes Caldera,
CERN, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Intel, Red Hat (Cygnus), SGI, SuSE, TurboLinux
and VA Linux Systems, and represents the first major effort by the server
and workstation industry to support an Open Source project of this depth
and scale.
On February 2nd, the Trillian project released the IA-64 Linux source code
to the open source community (available at www.kernel.org ). Today, two
of the lead engineers from the Trillian project will discuss the internals
of IA-64 Linux and they will detail how Linux will take advantage of the
new features of the IA-64 architecture.
About the speaker: David is a member of the technical staff at HP Labs
where he is working on Internet and Linux related projects. His research
interests are in high-performance Internet systems, operating systems,
and computer architecture. He holds a professional degree as an Electronics
Engineer, an HTL Diploma (BSc degree) in Computer Science from HTL
Brugg-Windisch, Switzerland and M.Sc.. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science
from University of Arizona. He is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer Society,
and USENIX.
In his former life at the University of Arizona, David was one of the
primary contributors to making Linux 64-bit clean and getting it to work
on the Alpha platform. For the two years or so, he has been spearheading
the effort at HP Labs to bring Linux to the forthcoming IA-64 platform.
Walt Drummond is the Director of Software Engineering at VA Linux Systems.
Walt leads the IA-64 Linux development effort at VA, concentrating on the
kernel and platform implementation details. Prior to joining VA he was
part of the Network Engineering group at SGI. Walt received his degree
from Rutgers Universtiy where he spent time researching linux-based clusters
and appliance-style servers.
