0x14: nutsnbolts, Performance improvements for NVMe/TCP
by Jamal Hadi Salim 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

In this talk Sagi Grimberg will look back at the journey and experience gained so far in the last year since introduction of kernel NVMe/TCP. He will then build on that context to describe various experiments conducted to measure performance - more importantly the latency achieved with current kernel NVMe/TCP. Part of the experiments will explore different NIC vendors' features (Intel ADQ, Mellanox aRFS, etc) that can be put to bear on behalf of improving overall performance and latency. Sagi hopes to create a discussion based on some suggestions on what he believes are useful enhancements that can be made to the driver. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14/session.html?talk-performance-improvements-for… Although we never close our door, reminder: registration is still in effect. https://netdevconf.info/0x14/registration.html Registering earlier helps us plan better. cheers, jamal

0x14: nutsnbolts, Security and Control of SR-IOV: What’s Our Responsibility if the Kernel is Bypassed?
by Jamal Hadi Salim 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Network kernel bypass is becoming more common. Often the given rationale to bypass the kernel is that it takes too long to develop and enable the kernel for new features. Kernel bypass opens the possibility of multiple, independent agents trying to independently (and directly) use and manage resources. This breaks the assumption that the kernel is the central system resource manager. The sanity and security of the system can be compromised. In this talk, Carolyn Wyborny and Tom Herbert will look at this issue with the perspective of SR-IOV’s Virtual Functions (VF); they will introduce the problems of control and security in the context of kernel bypass. They will propose some potential solutions and finally they hope to initiate a community discussion on the topic. More info: https://netdevconf.info/0x14-staging/session.html?talk-security-and-control… Reminder, registration is now open and early bird is still in effect. https://netdevconf.info/0x14/registration.html cheers, jamal

0x14: Travel consideration update
by Jamal Hadi Salim 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

It has been brought to our attention that there are countries which may impose outbound travel restrictions of their residents as a counter-measure to coronavirus (2019-nCov). Our understanding is this applies mostly to our colleagues in Asia who want to attend netdev 0x14. It is also likely that by the time we get close to the conference things will be under better control than they are right now. We would like to optimistically keep on moving forward with registration. Please register and take advantage of the early bird rates. We will reimburse 100% of the rate to any registered attendee who is unable to travel because of government imposed travel restrictions. This rule applies whether you register at early bird rates or later. See you in Vancouver! cheers, jamal (on behalf of the NetDev Society)
