First miniconf talk - 10:24
I went to Paul McKenney's talk about parallel programming being hard at the
kernel miniconf. A good part of it is when he kept reminding us that
refocusing and changing your problem so it can be applied to certain
restrictions is a good way to think about things.
Of course there were entertaining parts, such as the dining philosophers and
partitioning them so we have Non Uniform Philosopher Architecture. Also the
toilet paper that was a good representation of a cache miss, though there were
not two rolls of toilet paper so we did not have a dual core problem. Good
talk though.
