Linux Performance Analysis and Tools and Methodologies

I didn't know much about perf (<a href="https://perf.wiki.kernel.org" rel="nofollow">https://perf.wiki.kernel.org</a>) before watching this talk. I had no idea that perf supported dynamic tracing in the kernel (around minute 40/slide 57). I'm definitely going to play around with it more this weekend.<p>I always enjoy Brenden's talks. He really knows his stuff.

Awesome presentation. Brendan Gregg shows a scary amount of expertise here. Very motivating to start using more advanced tools.

Haven't listened to the presentation but the diagram doesn't list this project which I learned about from a Misko Hevery post on the googletesting blog. <a href="http://freecode.com/projects/fio" rel="nofollow">http://freecode.com/projects/fio</a><p>Look forward to watching it.

<p><pre><code> sudo perf top </code></pre> is really great!

Great stuff. Thanks!
