 How SMPng Works and Why It Doesn't Work The Way You Think, John Baldwin

 Modern x86 CPUs have hit a wall in frequency scaling and are now 
 expanding sideways by adding more cores. Adding more cores does not 
 magically multiply performance, however. John talks about some of the 
 reasons that it doesn't.

 In 2000, FreeBSD launched a project to multithread its kernel to more 
 fully take advantage of modern SMP machines. This talk will give an 
 overview of that project's history and continuing work on improving 
 scalability.

 About the speaker:
 John first started using FreeBSD in 1996 and has been an active kernel 
 developer since 2000. He has worked for various companies that use 
 FreeBSD including The Weather Channel and Yahoo!. John lives in New 
 Jersey with his wife and three kids.
