UNIGROUP'S MARCH 2009 MEETING NOTICE ------------------------------------ When: THURSDAY, March 19th, 2009 (** 3rd Thursday **) Where: ** FIELD TRIP LOCATION ** Novell, Inc. 1177 Avenue of the Americas, 35th Floor Midtown, Manhattan, NY 10036 ** FIELD TRIP LOCATION ** ** RSVP Mandatory ** Time: 6:15 PM - 6:25 PM Registration 6:25 PM - 6:45 PM Ask the Wizard, Questions, Answers and Current Events 6:45 PM - 7:00 PM Unigroup Business and Announcements 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM Main Presentation ------------------------------------------- Topic: Implementing Low Latency Systems with Novell/SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time ------------------------------------------- Speakers: Novell/SUSE Linux Team Members (to-be-announced), Novell <http://www.novell.com/linux> ------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION: ------------- Our Field Trip to Novell on The SUSE Real-Time Linux Kernel is scheduled for next week on 19-MAR-2009 (3rd Thursday). At last year's SIFMA show, Novell showed off their SUSE Real-Time Linux Kernel and demonstrated how various financial applications benefited from the reduction in latency that it can provide (imagine the speed improvements possible by reducing the latency inherently found between parallel and/or clustered applications). At the March Unigroup meeting, hosted by Novell, we hope to learn about the Real-Time Linux Kernel, its features, and how it may be tuned to provide performance enhancements for various real-world applications. Unigroup's next meeting will be in May 2009, topic to be announced. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- To REGISTER for this event, please RSVP by using the Unigroup Registration Page: http://www.unigroup.org/unigroup-rsvp.html This will allow us to automate the registration process.

RSVP will be mandatory to get you past building security. ------------------------------------------------------------------- MAIN PRESENTATION ----------------- Topic: Implementing Low Latency Systems with the SUSE Real-Time Linux Kernel Introduction/Outline: Innovative enterprises today are increasingly using Linux-based real time operating systems and commodity off the shelf components to cost effectively create ultra low latency environments. Based on the popular SUSE Linux Enterprise platform, SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time is fully supported real time operating system specifically engineered to reduce the latency and increase the reliability and predictability of time-sensitive mission-critical applications and processes. It is a very flexible solution that incorporates a large number of variables and knobs that can be turned to dedicate resources and/or increase throughput. Please join us for both dinner and entertainment - a interactive technical session covering topics like CPU shielding, thread priorities, and I/O tuning, things you can use to create a high throughput, highly predictable and responsive system. Bring your notebooks and your questions, and get some hands on experience with setting up and configuring SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time. More details to be [hopefully] announced soon.
