Most LPC passes sold out; refereed track proposals deadline nears

All of the regular and early bird registrations for the 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference have now sold out. There will be a very limited number of late registrations available starting on October 1. Those interested in attending the conference should also note that each refereed track talk gets one free pass to the conference. The deadline […]

Coherent Accelerators, FPGAs, and PLD Microconference Accepted into LPC 2016

It has been more than a decade since CPU core clock frequencies stopped doubling every 18 months, which has shifted the search for performance from the “hardware free lunch” to concurrency and, more recently, hardware accelerators. Beyond accelerating computational offload, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and programmable logic devices (PLDs) have long been used in the […]

TPM Microconference Accepted into LPC 2016

Although trusted platform modules (TPMs) have been the subject of some controversy over the years, it is quite likely that they have important roles to play in preventing firmware-based attacks, protecting user keys, and so on. However, some work is required to enable TPMs to successfully play these roles, including getting TPM support into bootloaders, […]

The refereed talk deadline for Linux Plumbers Conference is only a few weeks off, September 1, 2016 at 11:59PM CET. So there is still some time to get your proposals in, but time is growing short. Note that this year’s Plumbers is co-located with Linux Kernel Summit rather than LinuxCon, so the refereed track is […]

Wireless Workshop accepted into the 2016 Linux Kernel Summit and Linux Plumbers Conference

It might well be that wireless networking recently made the transition from an ubiquitous networking technology to the dominant networking technology, at least from the viewpoint of end-user devices. Part of this trend is the use of wireless in automobiles, and this workshop will look at Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE), also know as […]
