<short>Carlos O'Donnell talks about &quot;the last of the legacy processors to fall before the barbarian horde&quot;</short>
<abstract>No abstract available yet.</abstract>
<abstract>
<p>This whirlwind talk is aimed at providing an overview of the
GNU/Linux port for the HP PARISC processor. The talk will focus on
the &quot;intricacies&quot; of the processor, and in particular the
implementations of the Linux kernel and GNU/Libc. After the talk
you should be acutely aware of how little code needs to be written
to support a new architecture! Carlos has been working on the port
for two years, and enjoying the fruits of his labour on a 46-node
PARISC cluster.</p>

<p>
Carlos is currently in his 5th year of study at the University
of Western Ontario. This is his last year in a concurrent
Computer Engineering and Computer Science degree. His research
interest range from distributed and parallel systems to low
level optimized hardware design. He likes playing guitar and
just bought a Cort NTL-20, jumbo body, solid spurce top with
a mahogany back. Carlos hacks on the PARISC Linux kernel, GNU/libc,
GNU/Debugger, GNU/Binutils and various Debian packages.
