In case you missed the announcement: http://lists.linuxplumbersconf.org/pipermail/lpc-announce/Week-of-Mon-20180723/000068.html The topics are not finalized yet and mainly depends if we success to get full day, because gup, IOMMU and PCI-E discussions can easily take a half a day. Stay tuned. Thanks BTW, Netdev track at LPC: http://lists.linuxplumbersconf.org/pipermail/lpc-announce/Week-of-Mon-20180723/000067.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jake Edge <jake-AT-lwn.net> We are pleased to announce that the RDMA Microconference has been accepted into the 2018 Linux Plumbers Conference! RDMA (remote direct memory access [1]) is a well-established technology that is used in environments requiring both maximum throughputs and minimum latencies. For a long time, this technology was used primarily in high-performance computing, high-frequency trading, and supercomputing. For example, the three most powerful computers [2] are based on Linux and RDMA (in the guise of Infiniband). However, the latest trends in cloud computing (more bandwidth at larger scales) and storage (more IOPS) makes RDMA increasingly important outside of its initial niches. Therefore, clean integration between RDMA and various kernel susbsystems is paramount. We are therefore looking to build on previous years' successful RDMA microconferences this year by discussing our 2018-2019 plans and roadmap. Topics proposed for this year's event include the interaction between RDMA and DAX (direct access for files [3]), how to solve the get_user_pages() problem (see [4] and [5]), IOMMU [6] and PCI-E [7] issues, continuous integration, Python integration, and syzkaller [8] testing. LPC [9] will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from Tuesday, November 13 through Thursday, November 15.
