At Compute 2009, we shall hold a number of pre-conference and post-conference tutorials on the topics related to the tracks of the conference. We are pleased to provide details of four tutorials/workshops we have accepted as part of Compute 2009. The accepted tutorials are as below:

1. Half day tutorial on The hardware revolution in server virtualization
   Presenter: Mohan Parthasarathy, Hewlett-Packard, India
   Abstract
   Server virtualization is the buzz word in technology today. But the technology is not new and dates back to the 1970s. It has evolved from a primarily software driven approach in the late 1990s to a hardware focussed one with software enablement in last 2-3 years. This tutorial will give a brief overview of the partitioning and virtualization technologies, and then cover in-depth the criteria for a hardware to be virtualizable from the perspective of CPU, Memory and I/O, and how early software techniques accomplished this. We will then look at the hardware evolution in the CPU and Memory virtualization from Intel and AMD and cover advances in I/O virtualization from chip vendors and the PCI SIG. Finally, we will close with a brief look at future trends in this space. For the presentation slides click here
