Performance with Linux kernel tuning
- [Grant] 100% of the world's top 500 super computers use Linux as the operating system. A big reason for this is that the kernel can be tuned and optimized. Tuning the kernel allows us to extract more performance out of the same hardware. Tuning for our specific environment optimizes performance. In this course, we tune the Linux kernel for performance. To do this, we manually change kernel parameters and create tuned profiles. We use Tuna, a tool to tune processor affinity and schedulers. We use performance monitoring tools and load kernel modules, including passing parameters to them. We wrap up by covering remote logging using rsyslog. Join me now in my course, Linus System Engineer: Kernel Tuning and Remote Logging. Let's get started.
