Gnome outreach: Destination Xen

on YouTube ↗12m

" summary

Work focuses on adding paravirtual NUMA for PV guests to Xen so power-virtualized guests expose NUMA topology to Linux; development runs via kernel patch submissions on the xen-devel mailing list, with several small patches submitted and some queued for the next release while testing continues. Outreach came through OPW where 41 applicants 7 selected produced seven interns; two worked on Xen. Key blocker is Linux’s automatic NUMA balancing performance parity, which may prevent final acceptance.
