+<p>A look at TCP/IP scalability to gigabit networking on SMP machines.
+Demonstrates the costs of cache line bouncing on SMP (and thus the need
+for CPU affinity for both processes and IRQ handlers), how the performance
+impact of unaligned buffers can matter in hot paths, the benefit of recycling
+buffers rather than freeing and reallcating them, and the importance of
+processing events in batches rather than one at a time.</p>

+<h2><a href="ols2002_proceedings-pages-31-39.pdf">Mobile Cluster Computing Using IPv6</a> - <b>Abdul Basit, Chin-Chih Chang</b></h2>
+<p>Lobbying for the use of IPv6 in computing clusters, especially for
+dynamically moving nodes between different clusters.  [Ivory tower academia,
+not specific to Linux, ends with "Our future work is to refine our design

+<p>Modifying the scsi subsystem to do device scanning and inquiry via hotplug
+(both at boot time and afterwards), including the ability to hotplug device
+hierarchies ("bridge insertion events", new busses each potentially containing
+multiple scsi devices).  Improving the scsi error handler to better deal with
+multiple queued commands.  Contains some nice material on the history of
+hotplug (with reference to Greg KH's 2001 paper), and an appendix describing
+the operation of the scsi subsystem.</p>

+<p>Large clusters require the installation and maintenance of hundreds or
+thousands of identical nodes, generally via network installs from a central
+image server.  Most people use something simple like rsync, or perhaps drive
+the network install support in their distro with a script, but this paper
+describes how IBM evolved the AIX network manager into
+<a href=http://oss.software.ibm.com/lui>LUI</a> ("Linux Utility for cluster
+Installation") and then took ideas from another project
+(<a href=http://systemimager.org>SystemImager</a>) to
+create an even bigger project called "<a href=http://sisuite.org>System
+Installation Suite</a>".  There's a distribution called "Brian's Own Embedded
+Linux" in there too.</p>

+<p><a href=http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net>User Mode Linux</a> is a port
+of the Linux kernel to run as a normal user process, requiring no special
+support from the host kernel.  Its device drivers talk to libc instead of
+directly to hardware, and the UML kernel process intercepts and handles system
+calls for child processes via ptrace.</p>
+
+<p>[UML broke a lot of ground in Linux virtualization, and this paper
+foreshadows things like containers, eliminating redundant cacheing, and
+memory management cooperation between host and guest, that would be genericized
+to other virtualization schemes years later.  UML is still an excellent tool
+for learning about and debugging Linux.]</p>

+<p>Following up on LVM's ability to grow and shrink partitions while they're in
+use, this paper describes theory and tools to do the same to unmounted ext2/ext3
+filesystems, and a kernel patch to grow mounted ext2/ext3 filesystems with a
+new "mount -o remount,resize=" option.  (The tricky bit is allocating
+more blocks to group descriptor tables.)</p>

+<p><a href=http://www.uclinux.org>uClinux</a> is a Linux distribution designed
+to run on processors with no MMU (Memory Managment Unit), including cheap
+Digital Signal Processors with minimal general purpose processing
+functionality.  It combines a NOMMU linux kernel, a NOMMU C library (uClibc),
+and nommu utilities (based on BusyBox).  The original targets of uClinux were
+Motorola's [now Freescale's] DragonBall and ColdFire designs, followed by the
+ADI BlackFin and nommu variants of MIPS, Hitachi SH2, ARM, and SPARC.
+Discusses development tools (cross compilers), API differences (no memory
+protection, fixed size stack, no fork() or brk(), addition of binflat),
+kernel changes, and porting to new platforms.</p>
