We are specifically interested in single-system scalability, performance, and reliability of network server infrastructure products running on Linux, such as LDAP directory servers, IMAP electronic mail servers, and web servers, among others. We're continuing to work with vendors such as Sun and IBM on their Linux scalability issues. We've provided several significant modifications to the Linux kernel. We've written several papers, three of which have been accepted for publication through the Usenix technical conference proceedings. We're continuing to reach out to potential sponsors.
Work continues on long-term projects.
Milestones IBM and Network Appliance have become official sponsors of the Linux Scalability Project. The Linux Scalability Project welcomes students Inessa Goldring and Kendrick Smith. Inessa will work on MM performance issues. Eric Kustarz has left the NFSv4 project to work at Sun Microsystems. Kendrick replaces him on the NFSv4 effort.
