Carlos O'Donnell talks about "the last of the legacy processors to fall before the barbarian horde" - No abstract available yet. + +

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 "intricacies" 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.

+ +
+

+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. +
