UNIGROUP GENERAL MEETING
MEETING INTRODUCTION
Unigroup is pleased to announce that Red Hat will be presenting "Linux Performance Tuning" at our October 2017 meeting. We are planning to hold a comprehensive meeting on cranking out the highest performance from your Linux Servers. We expect to cover topics ranging from Kernel Tunables, through adjusting the Network Stack and Kernel Scheduling for Low Latency, through Software Development issues such as programming with NUMA CPU Locality in mind and tweaking compiler options for maximum CPU performance.

GIVEAWAYS
Addison-Wesley Professional/Prentice Hall PTR/Pearson, and O'Reilly have been kind enough to provide us with review copies of some of their books, which we will continue to raffle off as giveaways at our meetings. The publishers always ask that the persons receiving the books provide a review and/or feedback about their books.
Unigroup would like to thank both publishing companies for the support provided by their User Group programs.
As always, all of the books will be available for review at the start of the meeting.
Note: Our book supply is currently running low, and we need to restock.

! Students: We are looking for proof that you are
currently enrolled in classes (rather than working
full-time), and as such, your Student ID should show
a CURRENT date. We have been presented Student IDs
containing NO dates whatsoever, and in the
current environment, perpetual/non-expiring access
to university facilities just does not feel right.
If your ID contains no date, please bring
additional proof of current enrollment. Thanks.
NOTE: Simply receiving Unigroup Email Announcements does NOT indicate membership in Unigroup.
