I'll be in Second Life tomorrow talking about the book. The session is at 9am PST in the Andromeda Theatre. I've got a small set of slides describing the contents of the book (Here's the full ToC for the book). After the slides I'll be sticking around to answer questions.

I've only just heard that the the Solaris Grid Compiler has been released as a cooltool! The idea of this is to set up a batch of machines as a compiler grid - so large compilations can be dispatched to the grid to better utilise the machines, and reduce compilation time.

Will Zhang just received an SDN award for leading the effort to translate Solaris Application Programming into Chinese. Thanks, Will!

I recently read a couple of posts about SPEC CPU2006. As you can tell from the papers linked on this blog, I was quite busy helping prepare the suite - which was considerable fun. The first post is by Tom Yager, where he praises the suite for raising awareness of the components of a system that actually contribute to performance: "I added a practical angle to my scientific understanding of compiler optimizations, processor scheduling, CPU cache utilization".On the other hand...

Saw this on Neil Gunther's blog, a discussion group for performance visualization. I've no idea whether it will be an interesting group or not, but there's certainly many possibilities for making performance data more readily understandable. So far there look to be about 12 folks signed up to the group.One visualization tool that I think shows promise is chime, which is built upon dtrace.

Here's the page on how to debug C++ exceptions using dbx. It omits my often repeated mantra about the -g flag. For C++ -g currently turns off 'front-end' inlining. This usually results in a significant loss in performance, but a benefit in the code being easier to read without the inlining. If you are interested in debugging the same code that you get without -g, or the faster code that does having inlining, then use the flag -g0 when building the application.
