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.
|| Name || 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. |
