I'd like to nominate Sherry Moore for a core contributer grant in our community.
Sherry is the tech lead for the community sponsored "Enable/Enhance Solaris support for Intel Platform" project, and is a Senior Staff Engineer in the Solaris Kernel group. Her contributions to Solaris / OpenSolaris performance have been many, but to list a few: - Reducing Cache Pollution with Non-temporal Access, which improved write performance by 80-120% on x86 platforms. - Enabled ON compilation with Sun Studio 10 which improved build time. - Fast Reboot (ongoing) From "reboot" command to banner in 5 seconds. Other notable accomplishments: - Intel Microcode Update Support - "save-args" on amd64, so that we can have the stack arguments available via the debugger - Worked on the port of Solaris to amd64 - Worked extensively on Solaris Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) support Thanks, -Eric _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
