Talk Topic - I'm prepared for a 15 minute talk/demo on this.
Topics of Interest - I'd like to understand these topics better by the end of day.

Talk Topic |
Topics of Interest |
| Garry Bulmer |
Erlang-DTrace |
Using application-specific data (e.g recursive structures/lists, 'infinite' integers, ...) and operations in scripts.
Mapping many (100,000+) process-like behaviours and structures to DTrace. |
| John Birrell |
printm()/printt() actions |
Portability, embedded, cross-arch support |
| Keith Adams |
VMware VProbes |
VProbes is a dynamic instrumentation facility inspired by DTrace. I'll compare and contrast, and hopefully find some ways VProbes and DTrace can help one another. |
| Benoit Chaffanjon |
PPA |
The need for a systematic methodology to avoid the classic DTrace traps: Pessimistic Performance Analysis. |
| Rich Morin |
DT_Logger |
Using DTrace to optimize Ruby on Rails applications |
| Chad Mynhier |
Implementing stddev(), and why that made a good introduction to DTrace development. This will undoubtedly be the highlight of the conference.  |
Pretty much everything everyone else has to say. |
| Tom Keiser |
Thoughts on evolving DTrace into a dynamic distributed systems instrumentation tool. The talk will be partly theory and conjecture, grounded with some of the practical experience we've acquired at Sine Nomine while developing a cross-platform dynamic distributed instrumentation framework for OpenAFS. |
I'm interested in practically everything related to DTrace. |
| Theo Schlossnagle |
"Unsuck"ing open-source databases |
Describe (and demo) some tools we use on Solaris based on DTrace (and ZFS and Zones) to make "big" PostgreSQL databases palatable in a production environment. Also discuss some of the shortcomings of DTrace (or my knowledge of it) when applying to these problems. |
| Keith McGuigan |
DTracing Java |
Interested in other experiences and tips for using DTrace with dynamic languages. |
