UMD Linux Users Group, We have schedule another installment of the Sun Education and Research Users Group (SERUG) for February 6th 9:30am - 12:30pm. This event will be both an on-site and online presentation. For those who wish to participate on-site, the meeting will be held at: University of Maryland College Park Kim Engineering Bldg. Pepco Room - #225 College Park, MD Subject is DTrace: DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing facility that is built into the Solaris OS. DTrace can be used by administrators, developers, and performance analysts, and can be safely used on live production systems. DTrace enables you to examine the behavior of user programs as well as the behavior of the operating system. Users of DTrace can create custom programs with the D scripting language. Custom programs provide the ability to dynamically instrument the system. Custom programs provide immediate, concise answers to specific questions about the behavior of particular applications and the system. Although DTrace was initially written for Solaris, its source code is freely available as part of the OpenSolaris project, and work is in progress to port it to FreeBSD (in which there has been initial success as a substitute for the ktrace utility) and QNX . Apple has included DTrace in Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" with GUI Instruments. Our Speaker: Jim Fiori Jim Fiori is a Principal Engineer at Sun Microsystems and a DTrace user for the past 4 years. Jim will provide an overview of DTrace, then demonstrate this technology using dozens of D scripts. He will also talk about and demo new developments in the world of DTrace, including native DTrace probes in Java, new GUI tools built on top of DTrace, and the DTrace Toolkit. ( Jim is a UMD CP graduate as well ) Please RSVP back to me if you plan on attending in person. Hope you are able to participate either in-person or online ! regards, Peter ----------- Agenda for 2/6/08 SERUG Event 1) Introductions Time: 5 min 2) DTrace presentation and demonstration Topic: DTrace - Presentation and Live Demo Speaker: Jim Fiori - Principal Engineer - Sun Microsystems, Inc.
