Greetings All,

For our February 9th meeting we'll be welcoming Andrew Ruef and his talk
titled 'The Read-Copy-Update synchronization mechanism in the Linux
Kernel'. 

We'll be meeting at the offices of Tenable Network Security[0] in

soda provided by Praxis Engineering[2]. 

Additionally we will be offering Hackers for Charity[3] t-shirts for
sale. These shirts[4] are available for just $20 and the profits go to
support the charity. While I will have a selection of various sizes if
you would like to make sure I have the size/quantity you are interested
in drop me an email. 


Title: The Read-Copy-Update synchronization mechanism in the Linux
Kernel

Synopsis: RCU is a synchronization mechanism used by the Linux kernel.
I'll talk a little bit about the Linux kernel, why synchronization and
its optimization is important in the kernel, and how RCU works & what
it means for the kernel.

Bio: My name is Andrew Ruef, I am a system / kernel programmer who
works for Kyrus Technology (www.kyrus-tech.com), who enjoys
concurrency & caching.
