Our next get together will be in May with David Stewart from Intel! He is joining us to talk about "doubling performance in Swift with no code changes"

All interpreted languages come to the point in their evolution where a radical turn is needed to optimize performance and a Just In Time (JIT) compilation is the direction they have all turned. We would argue that now is the time for Python. In perhaps an extreme case, Swift’s performance is greatly affected by the latency of Python’s default CPython interpreter. Recently Swift throughput was improved 111% on a 15 node storage cluster and response time was boosted 87%. This was achieved by using PyPy, the JIT version of Python. This talk will describe a proof-of-concept study using PyPy in production with Swift, offer a roadmap for broad adoption of PyPy in the Python world, and provide clear steps for implementing PyPy in Swift.

Bio: David Stewart is the manager of the Server Language Optimization Team in the Data Center Software Technology group at Intel where he helped launch the effort. David has been an operating systems development expert for his whole career, starting out with Unix in 1980. David serves on various boards including the Yocto Project Advisory Board and the CE Linux Working Group, both part of the Linux Foundation. Before the formation of his current team, David held a variety of management positions in Intel’s Software and Services Group and in Intel’s Desktop Boards and Systems division.

OpenStack PDX July
Puppet

Have you heard of the OpenStack Innovation Center (aka OSIC https://osic.org/)? It's a joint effort between Rackspace and Intel designed to ultimately consist of about 2,000 physical nodes deployed at two data centers in Texas and California, OSIC is expected to further accelerate the development of OpenStack capabilities and their adoption in the enterprise.

Sonu Sreenivasan and David Brown will join us on July 21st to talk about everything under the OSIC umbrella - including how developers can request access for their testing and development, and some of the use cases they've seen deployed in the environment.

We will also be celebrating OpenStack's 6th birthday this month, so please come help us honor six years of incredible growth and progress in the OpenStack world!

About our presenters this month: Sonu Sreenivasan is a Program Manager at the OpenSource Technoloy Center at Intel. He also oversees the engineering execution for the OSIC partnership. He brings with him about 18 years of industry experience spread across, software design & development, IT Operations, program management, and cross-geo software delivery management across various business verticals. He has been with Intel for over 15 years and was based across multiple geographies. Sonu has a Bachelors in Physics and a Masters in Computer Science

David Brown is the director of the Data Center SW Planning team, primarily focused on driving Intel's OpenStack strategy. Prior to joining Intel, David was Vice President of Professional Services at Sequent Computers where his focus was to manage a global consulting operation.
