Profiting from David Levinthal’s visit at CERN, a tutorial on advanced performance monitoring is being organized jointly by Google and CERN openlab. During the two day course the participants will be able to get an advanced understanding of performance tuning theory and practice on modern PCs. In particular, David will demonstrate a novel tool called GOODA, the Generic Optimization Data Analyzer, which leverages the widely available perf subsystem in Linux. The hands-on labs will consist in part of pre-developed exercises and in part of an analysis of the attendees’ own applications. These examples will be used to explain how to debug and fix real performance issues.

Registration is free of charge but mandatory. More information and registration details can be found on the following website http://indico.cern.ch/event/gooda2012
