- <h2>Linux Stubdomain
-</h2>
+ <h2>Linux based Stub-domain</h2>
<p><i><p>As the current stubdomain based on minios is difficult to maintain, we have worked on a stubdomain based on Linux. This helps to use QEMU upsteam in the stubdom with little change.</p><p>So first I will present how a Linux based stubdomain is built and lauched, and the difficulties around it. Then, to see if this is a viable option, I will show disk and network benchmarks to compare it with a traditional QEMU in dom0 configuration. </p><p>To finish, I will present the current limitations of this type of stubdomains.</p></i></p>

<h2>From printk to QEMU: Xen/Linux Kernel debugging</h2>
<p><i>Current experience shows that a lot of developers working on Xen/Linux kernel use mainly only small set of debugging tools. Often they are sufficient for generic work. However, when unusual problem arises which could not be easily debugged using known tools sometimes they are trying to reinvent the wheel. Goal of this session is to present wide range of debugging tools starting from simplest one to most feature reach solutions in context of Xen/Linux kernel debugging. It will describe pros and cons of printk (serial, debug console, etc.), gdb, gdbsx, kgdb, QEMU, kdump and others. Additionally, there will be some information about possible new solutions and current kexec/kdump developments for Xen.</i></p>

<p><i>CloudStack, the world's leading open-source cloud infrastructure platform, was recently donated to the Apache Foundation, and is now an incubated Apache project. Ewan Mellor, Director of Engineering in the Citrix Cloud Platforms Group will describe the CloudStack project and explain why Xen is the pre-eminent hypervisor in public clouds today. He will describe the changes coming in CloudStack in the next 12 months, and how they are going to change the way that Xen is consumed in public and private clouds next year.</i></p>

<p><i><p>In this session we examined the Xen PV performance on the latest platforms in a few cases that covers CPU/memory intensive, disk intensive and network intensive workloads. We compared Xen PV guest vs. HVM/PVOPS to see whether PV guest still have advantage over HVM on a system with state-of-the-art VT features. KVM was also compared as a reference. We also compared PV driver performance against bare-metal and pass-through/SR-IOV. The identified issues were discussed and we presented our proposal on fixing those issues.</p></i></p>
