ACPI vs. Device Tree - Grant Likely, Linaro
To boot, the kernel needs to understand the hardware. While that information can be hard-coded into the kernel, it is more portable if the system can describe itself to the kernel. Over the years, several ways have been devised for doing so. In the PC world, that method is ACPI, while the embedded Linux world has settled on Flattened Device Tree, and there has been little crossover between the two. Recently however, the ACPI specification has gained support for the ARM architecture which means ARM system builders have a choice between two different solutions.

In this presentation, Grant Likely will talk about the current state of both Flattened Device Tree and ACPI support in the Linux kernel. We will cover the both the similarities and the differences, and why two different solutions exist. More importantly, we'll discuss how to choose between them.

The Future of Containers in Linux - James Bottomley, Parallels
Containers in the Cloud has been receiving a lot of attention recently. If you look at the available containers technology (OpenVZ, ZeroVM, Docker, LXC, OpenShift, lmctfy ...) You'd think that there'd been even more proliferation and competition in the Linux containers space than in hypervisors with Xen and KVM. However, the reality is somewhat different. Thanks to a massive collaborative between most of the containers players on the upstream kernel, the underlying technology used to create containers that run on Linux is essentially the same. The
differences lie in the ways containers are created and managed from the point of view of which pieces of the in-kernel container technology they make use of.

Looking to the future, the enterprise embrace of containers, while great, leaves some CIOs worrying about their hardware investments in virtualization technology like SR-IOV and NFV.

This talk will survey the current state of container technology in Linux, what the control plane differences are between all the competing technologies, and how we might begin to standardise container technology and give some speculation about future container advances that will allow them to reuse hardware designed for hypervisors.

Improvements on Kdump Scalability Issues for Terabyte-Scale Memory System - Hatayama Daisuke, Fujitsu Limited
There had been several scalability issues on kdump framework with
recently emerging terabyte-scale memory systems. Due to the issues,
even partial crash dump required over 1 hour. Recently, there are
several improvements for the issues: we implemented zero copy with
mmap() and optimized makedumpfile to address bottlekneck of reading
crash dump from memory, and we now support parallel compression by
supporting fast compression format and by removing 1-CPU limitation on
kdump 2nd kernel. Of course, the improvements have also good effect on
systems with typical amount of memory.

This talk explains these improvements for the kdump scalability
issues, then explains also how to use them on kexec-tools on recent
fedora and RHEL7 systems and finally shows benchmark on them.

Introduction to a Virtualization Testsuite Based on Autotest Testing Framework - Fergus Yu, Fujitsu
Autotest is an open-source project, which provides a framework for fully
automated testing. It is designed primarily to test the Linux kernel, though
it is useful for many other functions such as verifying new hardware and
testing virtualization under Linux platforms.It is composed of a framework
and several testsuites that rely on the core libraries in the framework.
Virt-test is one of the testsuites which is used for testing different Linux
virtualization hypervisors. As Cloud Computing becomes more and more popular
in the world, virtualization, the base of it, is also important increasingly.
So in order to keep the virtualization infrastructure function and stable,
we need a way to test virtualization functions automatically and rapidly,
and virt-test is on this purpose. In this presentation, Yu Mingfei will introduce
this effective and convenient testsuite to you.

Revolution in Virtualized Workload Management - Daniel Veillard, Red Hat
Traditional management of the software on virtualized workload have been to either install full instance of the operating system on the guest, which means a large footprint and rather complex operations or focuse on creating minimalist instances like with Docker, discarding and regenerating the guest on needed updates. This presentation will expose a new way under development in the Atomic project, where custom minimalist instances of the OS can be provisioned based on the existing full operating system, but tuned to allow Docker installation, and also provide atomic upgrade operation on the guest. This can solve the cost vs. maintenance dilemma of many virtualized workloads.

Evaluation of uClinux and PREEMPT_RT for Machine Control Systems - Yoshihiro Hayashi, Hitachi
We are surrounded by Machine Control System such as Car which consists of many small sensors, microcontrollers and actuators. In this realm, application usually runs on special OS for embedded system or without any OS. For embedded system, size of all software running on microcontroller should be small. Furthermore, application should be realtime: low latency and low jitter.
Today, Linux looks good for Machine Control System because of uClinux and PREEMPT_RT patch. uClinux stands for MicroController Linux. Originally, Linux is developed for x86 which has MMU. However uClinux is running on microcontroller without MMU. PREEMPT_RT is patchset for achieving Real-Time with Linux.
In this presentation, Yoshihiro will talk about advantage to use Linux for Machine Control System; experience and issue while he has tried to use combination of uClinux and PREEMPT_RT patch.

Why You Should Consider Using btrfs, Real COW Snapshots and File Level Incremental Server OS Upgrades Like Google Does - Marc Merlin, Google
The presentation will give you everything you know to get up to speed with btfrs, why you should want to trust your data to btrfs, how it offers a lot of what ZFS offers without the licensing problems, as well as best practices for using it.
I will go into:
- the basics of administration of a btrfs filesystem
- How btrfs, swraid, dmcrypt, and lvm fit or don't fit together
- how to work with a single storage pool and create all your partitions from it without having to ever resize them, or require LVM as a slow and somewhat unreliable block layer.
- how to have virtually as many snapshots as you want and why you really want this
- how to do very efficient block level backups of changes only and much faster than rsync ever will
- how those block backups can be used to deploy OS upgrades at the file level like I explained in my talk on how Google maintains its many servers last year.

WebKit and Blink: Bridging the Gap Between the Kernel and the HTML5 Revolution - Juan José Sánchez Penas, Igalia
WebKit is a web rendering engine (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) with a generic part (WebCore, JSEngine), and 'ports' for specific platforms that implement bits like rendering, networking or multimedia. In the WebKit community, companies&individuals cooperate to evolve a complex codebase. Given the popularity of HTML5 and web tech, WebKit is a key open source project. About 10 months ago, Google announced Blink, a fork of WebKit which attracted many former WebKit contributors. Igalia's Browsers team maintains the WebKitGTK+ port and is top contributor to WebCore, JSC, V8, other ports (EFL, Clutter, Qt), and Blink. The talk will review the past/present/future of WebKit/Blink, their dynamics and development process, , the relationship with the Linux ecosystem, and will give information about how to contribute to or use both projects.

Large Scale Identification of Race Conditions (In OpenStack CI) - Joe Gordon, OpenStack
Does your project have a CI system that suffers from an ever-growing set of race conditions? We have the tool for you: it has enabled increased velocity despite project growth.
Richard Stallman once said, “it turned out that debugging these asynchronous multithreaded programs was really hard.” With 30+ asynchronous services developed by over 1000 people the OpenStack project is an object lesson of this problem. One of the consequences is race conditions often leak into code with no obvious defect. To address this problem we have developed an ElasticSearch based toolchain called “elastic-recheck.” This helps us track race conditions so developers can fix them and identify when CI failures are related to the failed patch or are due to a known pre-existing race condition. elastic-recheck has saved countless hours while allowing us to better manage our race conditions.

Tracing the Kernel: Advanced Usage of Ftrace - Steven Rostedt, Red Hat
Ftrace is the official tracing infrastructure of the Linux kernel. Most developers use it on a daily basis to help them understand how their code interacts with the rest of the kernel. System administrators use it to see how the kernel impacts performance on the system. Most people have a basic idea on how to use ftrace, but very few people know its full potential. This talk will go into some of the more advance features, like snapshots, back traces, graph tracing, stack tracer, trace markers, kprobes, multiple instances and much more. Ftrace came into the Linux kernel in 2009 and has continued to grow in features. This talk will explain the depths of what ftrace can do, and what it may do in the future.

(LinuxCon Staging) Fast Live Migration for Data-intensive VMs by Exploiting Storage Area Network in Datacenter - Soramichi Akiyama, University of Tokyo
Improving energy efficiency of cloud datacenters is of great importance today. Dynamic optimization of VM placement using live migration is a key to achieve energy-efficient datacenters. We developed Page Cache Teleportation, a fast and low overhead live migration technique for VMs with large amount of page cache (a.k.a. file cache) such as database VMs and web server VMs. The main idea is to fully utilize the storage area network (SAN) in a datacenter in parallel with the multi-purpose network. Before a migration, our new kernel module inside guest OS detects memory pages containing restorable page cache, which are identical to disk blocks.

During a migration, these pages are copied from a storage server to the destination server via the SAN while other memory pages are transferred via the multi-purpose network. This presentation shows our implementation with QEMU/KVM and Linux, and performance evaluations.

Persistent Memory - Matthew Wilcox, Intel
This presentation discusses the changes being made to Linux in order to take advantage of Persistent Memory. NV-DIMMs provide persistent memory today, but they are mostly used in boutique solutions. In order for them to become more generally useful, we must make them easy to program. Matthew will also discuss some of the challenges that applications will need to deal with in order to fully take advantage of this new storage paradigm.

Persistent Memory is a hot topic in computing these days, and Linux support for it is critical to the success of both Persistent Memory and Free Software in general

The audience is programmers who are interested in either how Linux has been modified to better support Persistent Memory, or in how to write applications that take advantage of the benefits of Persistent Memory

Enhancement Activities on the Current Upstream Kernel for Mission-Critical Systems - Yoshihiro Yunomae, Hitachi
Yoshihiro Yunomae will share bug fixing and suggestion of new features on the current upstream kernel for mission-critical systems such as banking systems and train management systems. People expect stable operation for long-term use, so the systems need to satisfy following RAS requirements:
1. To prevent any problems beforehand.
2. To continue the operation even if a problem is occurred.
3. To find out the root cause of the problem certainly in order to never induce the problem again.
He investigated the current upstream kernel from the viewpoints of these requirements. Then, he has found some bugs and lack of some features. For examples, there were deadlocking problem after panic() to get memory dump, linebreaks in a single error message in SCSI layer and so on. In this presentation, possible problems and the way to avoid the problems are to be explained in a detail way.

(LinuxCon Staging) How do Community Members Build a Relationship of Trust - Daisuke Ando, Keio University
I am interested in how Linux community members build a relationship of trust. Usually, how to build a relationship of trust and its impacts depend on culture that members belong to. For example, many people believe that face-to-face communication especially drinking party after work is the most important to build a good relationship in Japan. However, it is getting difficult to have a face-to-face communication because of globalization. We must search a new approach to build a trustful relationship without face-to-face communication. Therefore, I focus on Linux community in which people work together sometimes without having face-to-face communication. I believe the reason why the success of Linux community is trustful relationship among members. I would like to survey how to build a trustful relationship in Linux community and propose a community evaluation scale using sense of trust.

(LinuxCon Staging) Design & Implementation of Para-Virtualized Driver For Faster Inter-VM Communication Using Infiniband - Yukito Ueno, Keio University
 Both flexibility of the virtualization technology and I/O performance of a VM are incompatible with each other. The reduction technique for overhead of virtualization technology is necessary. The goal of this study is to improve performance of network I/O of an inter-VM communication. We proposed a para-virtualized driver that is applied overhead mitigation techniques such as zero-copy and interrupt-coalecsing, and designed and implemented that driver using Infiniband.
In this study, we measured latency, packet processing rate and CPU load of hypervisor of our driver and compared the results with our driver and the system consisting of vhost-net and eIPoIB that can realize similar function with our driver. As a result, we found that the para-virtualized driver implemented in this study has advantages over the system consisting of vhost-net and eIPoIB in terms of latency, packet processing rate and CPU load of hypervisor.

New World of OpenStack RESTful API - Ken'ichi Ohmichi, NEC-Soft
The community of OpenStack Compute project(Nova) is discussing the design and the purpose of a new RESTful API now. The API is called "Nova v3 API".
The features of v3 API are "consistent API naming", "strong input validation", and "clean code".
We already started developing v3 API one year ago, and the most part has been implemented.
However, some core developers proposed the API should be dropped, because we have renamed many API attributes for the consistency and the fact will cause a lot of backward incompatibility issues to Nova API users. In addition, there are huge amount of RESTful APIs as Nova API, the developers concerned the maintenance cost for keeping both API versions(v2 and v3).

Quick Overview on OpenStack Block Storage Layer - Masaki Kimura, Hitachi
 In cloud environments, there are a variety of systems running for different workloads. Each workload tends to have its own requirements, such as reliability, performance, and functionality. Therefore, cloud systems need to provide users with choices which can satisfy requirements from these workloads.
This presentation focuses on the choices of block storages for OpenStack. In OpenStack, block storages are managed by a component called Cinder. Cinder manages multiple types of data resources as block storages via the plugin for each data resource. Currently Cinder plugins for many types of data resources are available, from LVM and nfs to cluster filesystems and enterprise storages.
This presentation will show the characteristics of these Cinder plugins, comparison among the Cinder plugins from the view point of workloads of the systems in cloud environments.

Dive Into the Internals of Kernel Network Stack with Direct Code Execution - Hajime Tazaki, University of Tokyo
Network protocol is becoming complicated as a demand of users increases. There are still new protocols (e.g., Multipath-TCP) which are under development and need to study in detail, but it is hard to debug them once the issue comes from a distributed operation (the system is highly distributed.)

In this talk, he will firstly review the difficulties of debugging with network protocol development with the example of Linux kernel, then present a solution executing Linux kernel over a userspace program, with an alternative virtualization, Direct Code Execution (DCE), to address the hard-to-debug problem of distributed network protocols.

The friendship between Ponyo and Sōsuke shows how people from different backgrounds can work together, like people in communities work together, to accomplish more than they could have alone. While we don't get to travel by catbus or Kiki's broom, many of us have the opportunity to travel the world interacting with community members. Unfortunately, we have to rely on online participation combined with more traditional methods of transportation.

Killing Two Birds with One Stone: a Smart Task Scheduler for Smartphones - Mingyong Kim, Korea University
Smartphones have adopted Asynchronous Symmetric Multiprocessors (aSMP) to fulfill two conflicting requirements of the users: long battery life and high performance. As each core has independent frequency/voltage control, aSMP can save energy by lowering frequency of the cores running light applications while not degrading performance of other cores. Unfortunately, the Linux task scheduler does not exploit the energy saving mechanism, since it balances load across the cores regardless of what running applications are. Such pointless load balancing causes energy waste by confusing the scaling governor. This presentation proposes a novel task scheduling technique for aSMP that saves energy and improves performance . The proposed technique schedules applications based on their QoS-sensitivity by using an online classification method which is also proposed in this presentation.

Writing Drivers for the Linux Crypto Subsystem - Marek Vasut, DENX Software Engineering
Security is one of the highlights of the Linux kernel and the Linux Crypto subsystem is one of the key components of this. The Linux Crypto subsystem is the middleman between the cryptographic hardware and the consumers of it's services throughout the Linux kernel. It is therefore utterly important for this layer to work correctly under all circumstances.

There are a few implementation details to the Crypto subsystem which can be rather confusing. In this talk, Marek will explain in detail how to write a driver for cryptographic hardware and make it play well with the Linux Crypto subsystem. He will point out the possible pitfalls and explain how to avoid those. In the end, Marek will outline which options are there for testing the new driver, both on the kernel side and the userland side.

Linux Kernel Report - James Bottomley, CTO of Server Virtualization, Parallels
The Linux kernel is at the core of any Linux system; the performance and capabilities of the kernel will, in the end, place an upper bound on what the system as a whole can do. This talk will review recent events in the kernel development community, discuss the current state of the kernel and the challenges it faces, and look forward to how the kernel may address those challenges. Attendees of any technical ability should gain a better understanding of how the kernel got to its current state and what can be expected in the near future.

Effect on Business Management by Utilization and Contribution of Open Source Software in Japanese IT Companies - Tetsuo Noda, Shimane University
To analyze how Open Source Software (OSS) affects business growth both through simple use and by deeper engagement as a stakeholder in OSS community, we conducted questionnaire survey to Japanese IT companies in 2012. Business environment around IT companies is always changing and it is conceivable that the OSS utilization and contribution also undergo the changes. So, we conducted questionnaire survey in 2013 in order to observe the progress and make comparison between years. In this paper, we capture the present situation of the utilization and contribution of OSS, and analyze how these indicators affect business growth. In 2013 survey, we make deeper analysis on the intangible effects by the utilization and contribution of OSS.

The Past, Present and Future of Linux Real-Time - Thomas Gleixner, linutronix GmbH
Providing Real-Time capabilities to a general purpose Operating System is an outstanding technical problem. Efforts to reach this goal for the Linux Kernel date back into the mid 1990's and have been accompanied by passionate mostly academic debates about the correct
approach. All these efforts took place mostly disconnected from the mainline kernel community.

Almost 10 years ago, a new project emerged to bring Real-Time capabilities to the Linux Kernel: Preempt-RT. For the first time a couple of well recognized mainline kernel developers, heavily influenced by one of the visionary academic masterminds, took on the challenge with a clear focus to integrate the technology into the
mainline kernel.

A good reason to take a tour through the history of Linux Real-Time and the benefits which were brought to the mainline kernel by the Preempt-RT project.

While Linux Real-Time is primarily a deep technical problem, the Preempt-RT project had and still has to master some interesting non-technical challenges, which are crucial prerequisites for the technical success of the project. Analysing the present state and giving an outlook on the future of Preempt-RT will focus on the non-technical issues and discuss possible solutions.

What is So Special About Mageia? - Bruno Cornec, HP
Now ranked #4 on DistroWatch, this fully community driven FLOSS distribution is still largely unknown and its merits underestimated. However, it provides unique features for both server or desktop users, based on a rich management, packaging and contribution set of tools, a friendly community eager to deliver the best Linux distribution. While young and born in 2010, Mageia is a full featured distribution inheriting from its Mandrake roots back in the 90's, but now fully managed by its community such as Debian, or Fedora. However, few people know what makes Mageia so appealing. This presentation will cover in detail deployment with auto_inst, security with msec, SELinux and Tomoyo, package management with urpmi and friends, and the numerous other tools (providing a real choice), or integration tasks or governance model that make it a unique distribution you should test next.

Protecting the Integrity of the Linux System - Dmitry Kasatkin, Samsung
Runtime system integrity is protected by access control mechanisms. The Linux kernel provides Discretionary Access Control (DAC) and several Mandatory Access Control modules, such as SELinux, SMACK, Tomoyo, AppArmor. All of these assume trustworthiness of the access control related data. Integrity protection is required to ensure that offline modification of such data will not remain undetected.

This presentation will summarize the different methods of achieving integrity protection at different layers, compare them and will show how to use them to build integrity protected system. It will present the current state and future of the VFS level Linux kernel Integrity Subsystem, which allows since 3.7 to build integrity protected system, and compare it with block-level integrity protection modules, such as dm-integrity and dv-verity.

How NUMA Balancing Moves KVM Guests - Takuya Yoshikawa, NTT OSSC
NUMA Balancing is a feature we can find in recent Linux kernels, since the 3.8 kernel, which automatically moves tasks and their memory so that each task can use as much memory from the same NUMA node as possible. Since using more local memory results in better performance on NUMA systems, we can expect applications to perform better even without manually pinning and binding their threads.

In this presentation, the speakers will show some test results about how NUMA balancing behaves on a KVM host whose guests should get the best performance when they run within one NUMA node. In addition, they will discuss what is missing to fully replace the current way to pin and bind KVM guests, using libvirt for example, with this automatic balancing by the kernel.

In-Place Computing for Big and Complex Data - Yicheng Huang, MacroData
In order to address real-time analytic problems for big data, we’ve developed an unconventional technology, In-Place Computing (IPC). It defines an abstraction that data objects live (save) and work (compute) in one flat and infinite address space. To approximate an IPC system in 64-bit Linux, we introduce a key notion, Macro Data Structure (MDS), which looks just like any regular data structure except it is in-place, persistent, relocatable and big enough to hold entire set of big data. The challenge is to design a mechanism for efficient MDS implementation to reduce page faults and improve performance as the data size exceeds that of the swap space. The mechanism covers issues for (1) memory arrangements for better data locality and (2) access patterns in a hierarchical MDS. The mechanism delivers substantial performance advance for an IPC implementation.

OpenStack Approach to SDN (Software Defined Networking) by Way of NFV (Network Function Virtualization) - Isaku Yamahata, Intel
OpenStack is an open source cloud Infrastructure as a Service software platform. Neutron is its networking sub-component. It is evolving from being the provider of basic networking services to becoming a system with pluggable components all tied through a common application programmer interface. That is, it is gaining an ability of NFV manager/orchestrator in addition to SDN controller/orchestrator, and is becoming an integration point between SDN and NFV.

In this talk, the activities for SDN and NFV is shows as an introduction and then the Advanced Network Service Framework (ANSF) that allows configuring, chaining, and deploying network functional components with multiple possible custom implementations and how ANSF lays the foundation for Network Function Virtualization with Software Defined Networking in OpenStack will be discussed.

Deploying OpenStack with Kickstack - Syed Armani, hastexo
OpenStack is an open source platform for building public and private clouds. In this presentation, we discuss Kickstack. Kickstack is a pure-Puppet rapid deployment system for OpenStack. It uses Puppet modules hosted at StackForge that are also available through the Puppet Forge. Using a simple scheme of “node roles” expressed as classes in a Puppet module, you can use Kickstack to easily run, deploy and configure OpenStack using nothing but a Puppet manifest, an External Node Classifier (ENC), or both.

The primary audience for this tutorial is anyone from sysadmins, students to researchers. Who want to deploy OpenStack in an automated way. Which is far less complex than manually deploying various components of OpenStack. From this tutorial people will learn how to deploy various components of OpenStack using Kickstack. They can have a small OpenStack cloud up and running in 30 mins using Kickstack.

This tutorial will help people understanding that deploying OpenStack is not as difficult as it appears. This will help them in deploying OpenStack in an automated fashion and this will also help them in making an informed decision about adopting OpenStack for their production workloads.

Mastering "Industrial Grade Linux" Challenges - Carsten Emde, OSADL
Industrial use cases of the Linux operating system and its real-time component Preempt-RT in particular face a unique technical challenge: While the strongholds of Linux-based systems, servers and smartphones, ship in high quantities with a relatively low variance of hardware and software features, the industrial area has to cope with a broad variety of hardware and software combinations each of which is shipped only in comparably low quantities.

The ability to handle a large variety of systems with an extremely high quality is one of the strengths of the Open Source development model, but it heavily depends on the feedback of the users which is difficult to obtain from an industrial environment. Alternatively, large-scale tests of similar systems can be carried out that certainly will expose common defects. But this is not sufficient as the past almost 10 years of exposure of the Linux kernel to the stress when running under real-time conditions have proven. To achieve "Industrial Grade Linux" quality it is necessary to expose the real-time Linux kernel to the most diverse set of hardware and software features. This exposure is necessary to guarantee the quality of the Linux Kernel for all involved parties, but none of the low-quantity Linux users can achieve that on their own.

The Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) has started a collaborative effort years ago to put a broad variety of systems under test to fill the gap between the testing efforts of the high-quantity narrow use case and the low-quantity broad use case. The Preempt-RT developers have acknowledged the value of this effort, but they also are complaining about the shortcomings, which are mostly of non-technical nature.

All of this is a perfect reason to look at the achievements and the shortcomings and discuss possible solutions.

Karen Pauley is interested in the Open Source phenomena that makes intelligent people work for free. Many businesses believe that in order to get and retain the best people they must pay a good salary and provide a variety of benefits. But that is obviously not the reason why people participate in Open Source projects.

Why do people volunteer to work in an Open Source project? When your project has volunteers how do you keep them? After all, there are so many other projects they could choose. Do you know why anyone else would want to give up their Saturday nights to work on your favourite project? Is it fun? Do you continue to learn new things in a supportive environment? Do you feel like you are part of a community?

During this talk Karen will describe the issues around the people involved in Open Source projects, which run on people just as much as on technology.

D-Bus in the Kernel -Lennart Poettering, Red Hat
Most more modern OS designs than Unix started out with a high-level IPC from the beginning, and then built the rest of the OS on top of it. Linux/Unix began with only the most basic low-level IPC primitives in place (Pipes and stream sockets). Building on those over time various higher-level IPC systems were created, but only very few stood the test of time or became universal. On current Linux systems the best established high-level, local IPC layer is D-Bus. It implements a reliable message passing scheme, with access control, multicasting, filtering, introspection and supports a flexible object model.

In this talk I'd like to discuss the "kdbus" IPC system, a kernel implementation of the D-Bus logic and its userspace side. "kdbus" takes the concepts of classic D-Bus but makes them more universally useful, reducing latency and roundtrips, and increasing bandwidth.

The audience is anyone interested in Linux IPC, application and OS developers in particular.

We hope to establish kdbus soonishly in all important distributions, and we'd like to make sure get everybody into the loop and onboard, and collect feedback, to make sure kdbus turns out to be a success.

Sheepdog: Software-Defined Storage System For Converged Infrastructure - Hitoshi Mitake, NTT
Sheepdog is a software defined storage system for converged infrastructure developed as OSS. Its completely symmetric architecture enables scale out, easy to manage virtualized environment without expensive storage appliances. Sheepdog has been started as a software which provides virtual disks to QEMU originally. But recent development effort is significantly improving its capability and adding new features. In this talk, the recent results of development is presented. Especially, remarkable results are:
  1. Erasure coding: New coding scheme for improving both of space efficiency and writeperformance without losing reliability is added. 
  2. iSCSI interface: The standard interface of SAN is supported. The virtual disks can be used by hypervisors other than KVM and bare metal OSes. 
  3. Object atorage feature: Object storage interface like AWS S3 and Openstack Swift is supported.
In addition, performance comparison with Ceph and GlusterFS is presented.

Everyone Wants To Know About the Secret of the Linux Community - Satoru Ueda, Keio University Leading Graduate School Program (Project Professor)
Can you tell why Linux community keeps on innovative? Recently many people are getting
to be aware the innovation comes from societal background, not just simply from the 
technological aspect. Some of them are interested in the nature of Linux community as the 
successful example of the societal and technological balance. Do you think it is possible 
to tell the “secret” of Linux community to those outsiders of the community? I believe there 
are a lot of human relationships observed in the Linux community which are crucial for 
achieving innovation. They are worth telling to those people but I am wondering if they can 
make sense. In this presentation I would like to discuss about such possibility.

Precision Time Protocol on Linux: Introduction to linuxptp - Ken Ichikawa, Fujitsu
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) can provide sub-microsecond accurate clock synchronization in a local area network. In order to achieve such accuracy, hardware assisted timestamping is used. Linux kernel is now ready for the hardware timestamping using PTP Hardware Clocks and user-space software, linuxptp, uses the hardware timestamping and provides PTP capabilities on Linux. Fujitsu has worked on linuxptp development and testing for about a year and contributed to improve the functionality and reliability. This presentation introduces linuxptp, including how to use, what is needed, and how to apply it to the systems which need accurate clock synchronization (include mission critical systems).

Evaluation of Real-time Property in Embedded Linux - Hiraku Toyooka, Hitachi
Linux has already been used in real-time systems. Current mainline Linux supports a variety of real-time features such as deterministic scheduling, kernel preemption, high-resolution timer and IRQ thread. In addition, we can get more deterministic behavior by using PREEMPT_RT patch set. To benefit from those features, we need to pay attention to many kernel configurations, use of appropriate APIs and hardware settings. In this presentation, I will talk about how to enable those real-time features and how to evaluate real-time performance by tools such as rt-tests or by your own program. I will also show measurement results in some ARM Cortex-A boards.

Invest for the Future: Our Motivation For The Upstreaming Effort - Hisao Munakata, Executive Manager at Renesas
Now almost 80% of Linux kernel patches are submitted by professional programmer who belongs to the industry. Traditionally Enterprise giant like IBM, Red Hat and Intel played a leadership role in the kernel development and now you can see many embedded semiconductor companies
join the development to make Linux support wider use case. This is very good thing, but can you imagine why major company committed to opensource development so much? Some people seem still wondering the how can we justify the investment for the kernel development as the work result can be shared by anyone who did not spend money. Renesas had been working for upstreaming and now we can say the value of upstreaming is much more than just a social contribution activity. In this keynote, I want to introduce our motivation of upstreaming work and how we utilized the work result to the real business case.
