 A Taxonomy of Linux Performance Tools

 Beginning with good old UNIX and it’s many incantations (& devilish
incarnations), tools to observe performance have grown, some may argue
in too wild a manner. A few years ago Brendan Gregg, a well-known
Linux performance engineer shared a birds-eye view of the various
tools out there, in order to provide some structure to the collection.
In this talk, we will briefly visit some of the tools (it is
impossible to do all of them in-depth) and the general areas/domains
they excel in, in order to get a better feel for which tools do what
and where they may be best applied/explored.

Engineering and a Masters in Computer Science from Wayne State
University, Detroit, Michigan. He recently came back to Michigan from
the Fermi National Accelerator Labs, Batavia, Illinois where he was a
computing services architect. Before Fermi Lab, he was the Subject
Matter Expert/Project lead at the UberCloud project, working on
helping to realize HPC in the cloud. With 30 years of experience in
scientific and technical computing, Sharan has worked at numerous HPC
industry leaders that include Cray Research and Silicon Graphics. He
has also spent several years in the automotive industry at General
Motors, managing their global engineering HPC centers, as well as in
the academic domain, most recently at KAUST in Saudi Arabia. Sharan is
a member of the ACM, senior member of IEEE/Computer Society,
USENIX/LISA, AAAS and the Union of Concerned Scientists. He was one of
the original founders of michigan!/usr/group (mug.org) back in 1985-86
At the time he was working with the original UNIX system V and BSD 4.x
in source form at the Michigan Cancer Foundation, and managing a
USENET hub as well. He also runs the popular discussion group
'Innovative Uses of HPC' on LinkedIn.com
