[Xen-ia64-devel] Xen Summit ia64 topics

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

   Xen Summit is just around the corner.  Hopefully I'll see many of you
there.  I'd like to poll for topics people would like to discuss during
the ia64 session.  I expect that we'll have a rather informal session
talking about the amazing amount of progress we've made since the last
summit, and what we'd like to do next.  Tristan sent out a list back in
July with some roadmap ideas and we've already completed a number of
things on the list.  I believe the remaining ones are:
        
        * Profiling
        * Any page size support
        * Performance and stabilization

I've also received some possible topics from Fred that include:

        * Planning for the upcoming stub-domain (mini-os)
        * Stability (distribution support)
        * Scalability
        * Performance
                * Making better use of TRs

I'd really like to get all the x86/Xen debugging functionality ported
over too.  Adding NUMA support would be very relevant for many IPF
systems.  Tristan has already mentioned on list about improving
bootloader interactions/parameters.  We might also want to think about
boot improvements on the VTi side.  If anyone wants to provide status
updates on bigger tasks they're working on, that would be great too.
PV-on-HVM driver status and performance data on IPF might be an
interesting topic.  Isaku has an outstanding set of performance
improvement patches we might want to discuss.  I'm open to about
anything, so let's start thinking about how to make it productive.
Please let me know if you'll be attending as well.  Thanks,

        Alex
