Tom Gall talks about the wide variety of graphics related optimizations that the Linaro Graphics working group works on, activities within the Kernel layer for panel and kernel device drivers, user space optimizations for libraries important for the graphics stack including audio-visual libraries for multimedia type applications, optimizing using NEON, starting to look at using GPGPUs, doing general purpose computing on a GPU device.

Vincent Guittot, Linaro assignee from ST-Ericsson, talks about the work that is being done at Linaro to Extend the Linux kernel to support ARM’s big.LITTLE MP architecture, building on the features provided by the big.LITTLE Switcher project. The most powerful use model of big.LITTLE is called MP and enables the use of all physical cores at the same time. Threads with high priority and/or computationally intensive can in this case be allocated to the A15 cores while threads with less priority or less computationally intensive such as background tasks can be performed by the A7 cores.

Daniel Lezcano talks about CPU idle optimizations, trying to power down the different peripherals of the ARM SoC, consolidating the drivers by changing the way they are managing the different peripherals.

Serge Broslavsky Project Manager on the Technical Management team at Linaro and Paul Sokolovsky, Build Engineer on the the Infrastructure team at Linaro took a moment at Linaro Connect Asia 2013 in Hong Kong to talk about what they do at Linaro.

Amit Kucheria is the Linaro Power Management Tech Lead, and Will Deacon works on the Linux Kernel at ARM. They talk about what they have been doing at Linaro Connect and what they are working on in the months to come.

Filmed at Linaro Connect Asia 2013. Read more about LAVA (Linaro Automated Validation Architecture) at: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Validation/LAVA You can also watch my other 39-minute session video introducing LAVA.

Debian developer working at Collabora. Contributing to the open and free software community. On the board of directors of the Gnome desktop, doing Gstreamer and multimedia work, making multimedia work on set-top-boxes and smart TVs, working on the automobile environment. Building the ARM ports in Debian, optimizing the hard float in Debian, Ubuntu, now everyone is using the ARM hard float.

Deepak Saxena is the Linaro Kernel Tech Lead, here he talks about what he has been doing at Linaro Connect Asia 2013.

Nicolas Pitre and Viresh Kumar are part of the core team from Linaro that is working on developing future solutions for the latest ARM architecture: big LITTLE. Here they discuss some of the internals of the famous IKS solution. They are joined by Naresh Kamboju who is part of QA team working for Linaro.

This team including few more got “Outstanding team for 2012 for their work on IKS”.

Marcin Juszkiewicz talks about his experiences at Linaro Connect 2013 in Hong Kong. Talking about the sessions he liked, talking about his opinions on things and the things he does at Linaro. He talks about why he uses Cyanogenmod over Linaro Android builds on his Android phones, it’s for the customizations, add-ons, changes, tweaks.
