Blake Matheny is an Engineering Director at Facebook where he is responsible for systems including the Linux kernel as well as Tupperware, the Facebook cluster and job management infrastructure. The Facebook Kernel team strives to keep pace with the mainline Linux kernel, actively developing features against the mainline tree and back porting them into the tree.
Blake will discuss the issues Facebook's Kernel Team has run into, and also share the approaches they’ve taken that have enabled them to keep hundreds of thousands of servers as close to mainline as possible.
Blake has been working on large scale distributed systems for more than ten years, and is currently enamored with C++11, approaches to asynchronous computation, and scheduling algorithms. Although formerly from NYC, Blake currently lives in California with a cat that hates him, his wife, and their collection of books.
