Analyzing Large & Complex Platforms: a Look at Linux
The Linux Fedora platform is composed of more than 2,500 interconnected software packages developed and managed by globally distributed teams and over 100,000 developers. In this webinar, Silverthread co-founder and CEO Dan Sturtevant and David Allan present research that addresses the architectural complexity of the Fedora Linux operating system. They will discuss:
How to visualize the system at multiple levels (including the view from 60,000 feet) and gain meaningful insights about its hidden structure;
How to benchmark across the system to better understand its composition and variations in complexity and quality; and
How this approach can help you building and improve software platforms.
