Debugging USB Type-C Power Delivery: Beauty and the Beast - Marcel Ziswiler, Codethink Ltd.
Tuesday June 24, 2025 9:00am - 9:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2A
While working with the RADXA ROCK 5B, a low-cost/high-performance RK3588 aarch64-based development board, we discovered that it is picky concerning the used USB Type-C power source. What was rather strange is that while it worked on our upstream Linux kernel (at the time of writing v6.13.1) based Embedded Linux system, it just boot-looped running RADXA's Debian (using a Rockchip downstream v6.1 based kernel). At the same time, my colleagues were working on the Testing in a Box version 2 (TIABv2) integrating USB Type-C power delivery which we plan to use in our board farm once ready. Of course, as soon as they had prototypes I gave it a try and it also showed the problem. By chance, both sides are using the exact same onsemi FUSB302B programmable USB Type-C controller with power delivery. The TIABv2 one is configured as a power source and the ROCK 5B one is configured as a power sink. This talk introduces the USB Type-C power delivery topic and then discusses how we joined forces and debugged both sides, at times giving the ball to the TIABv2 firmware, at other times to the Linux kernel fusb302 driver and back and forth again.

Efficient On-Device Core Dump Processing for IoT: A Rusty Implementation - Blake Hildebrand, Memfault
Tuesday June 24, 2025 9:00am - 9:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2B
Embedded Linux devices operate in constrained environments with limited storage, bandwidth, and connectivity. Traditional core dumps can be quite large, making it impractical for some of the more constrained embedded systems. Over the past year, we’ve tackled this challenge head-on—optimizing Linux core dumps directly on the device to reduce size, protect privacy, and enable better debugging for IoT developers.

What We’ll Cover:
Inside ELF Core Dumps – A look at the ELF structure and how it applies to core dumps.

On-Device Optimization – How we reduced core dump size by capturing only the first N bytes of each stack, minimizing storage and bandwidth impact.

Privacy-Preserving Debugging – How our custom built (in Rust!) on-device stack unwinder hooks into the core handler, and reduces a coredump to a set of PCs per frame to save space and prevent potential PII from leaking.

Scaling to Millions of Coredumps – Lessons learned from parsing an unprecedented volume of core dumps with Rust.

Regression Testing Boot-time Performance in the Linux Kernel - Tim Bird, Sony
Tuesday June 24, 2025 9:50am - 10:30am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2B
There are numerous tools to measure boot-time performance of Linux. However, there is no standard regression test of boot performance for Linux. This is due to a number of factors, including disparities in system performance, different requirements for quickly-needed functionality, and differences in bootloader, kernel and user-space configuration. In this session Tim will present a boot-time regression test that utilizes a collection of reference value data files for different platforms, kernel versions and configurations. A meta-data matching system is used to select an appropriate reference data file. Boot time data (including initcall durations, and the durations of pre-selected boot operations) is compared with reference values, in order to report regressions in boot-time duration for specific elements of the boot sequence. The upstream status of this effort, along with the test and supporting tools, as well as issues found with this approach, will be discussed.

Skip the Wait: Maximizing SPI Throughput in the Linux Kernel With SPI Offloading - David Lechner, BayLibre
Tuesday June 24, 2025 9:50am - 10:30am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2A
SPI offloading is a new feature slated to land in the 6.15 kernel. Come learn what it is and what it can be used for.

“Offloading” is a generic term that refers to using additional hardware connected to a SPI controller to handle tasks traditionally done in software, like initiating a SPI transfer and handling an interrupt when the transfer is complete. Having these functions offloaded to hardware is useful for applications like high speed data acquisition (think 1 million samples per second for an ADC) or to meet latency requirements (think CAN bus controller).

In this session, we will cover the thought process that went into designing an interface that can handle these varied applications and the solution we arrived at. We will also take a side trip to discuss hardware triggers that can be used as part of the SPI offload functionality and how they could potentially become a standalone subsystem for generic hardware triggers. Then we will take a look at how we put it all together in a real ADC driver to get 2.5 million samples per second. Finally, we will cover other potential use cases for SPI offloading and how one could go about adding support for these.

Towards Confidential AI for the Masses! - Julian Stephen & Michael Le, IBM
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:00am - 11:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2G
Confidential AI leveraging GPUs can bring AI to the masses without sacrificing the privacy of end users. Individual open source technologies already exist to configure, deploy, and manage confidential TEEs. However, clobbering a multitude of components into a coherent, secure, and efficient solution is challenging with many pitfalls. For example, depending on use cases and involved parties (cloud/model/service owners), attestation and key management methodology can vary drastically. In addition, for TEEs with confidential GPUs, complexity extends to increased load times, affecting services that serve multiple models.

This talk will go through key components and design decisions needed to enable confidential AI. Specifically: i) implications of different trust models on the solution and (ii) performance tradeoff considerations. To concretize the discussion, we will present a detailed end-to-end 'how to', for deploying an inference service on Nvidia H100 GPUs and AMD-based TEE with a focus on protecting the model and the user input. The audience will be able to appreciate why there can be no one size fit all confidential AI solution and understand what design works for them.

Recipe for Discovery: Building the UC Open Source Repository Browser From Scratch - Juanita Gomez, University of California, Santa Cruz
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:00am - 11:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3F
The University of California’s network of Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) launched last year, bringing together six campuses (UC Santa Cruz, Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego) to support open source research, promote sustainability, and establish best practices within academic environments.
A key challenge in this effort is identifying and connecting open source projects across the system. Despite UC’s significant contributions to open source, there is no centralized way to track these efforts, making it difficult for researchers to find relevant projects, for institutions to assess impact, and for the broader community to engage with UC’s open source work.
To address this, the UC OSPO Network is developing the UC Open Source Repository Browser (UC ORB), a discovery tool designed to map and classify UC’s open source projects.
This talk will explore the process of building the UC ORB, from leveraging the GitHub API for data collection to integrating automated discovery with targeted outreach to the academic community. We will discuss the challenges of repository identification, compare similar approaches, and share lessons learned throughout the process.

Edge AI and MLOPs Practices for Zephyr - Eoin Jordan, Edge Impulse / University of Galway
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:00am - 11:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2C
In this presentation, Eoin will introduce a practical approach to Edge MLOps for microcontroller-based systems using the Zephyr RTOS. Edge MLOps unifies DevOps, ML model development, and edge deployment practices to streamline the entire AI lifecycle at the device level—from data collection and processing to model training, deployment, and continuous monitoring.

Attendees will learn how to implement version control for data and models, design automated CI/CD pipelines that handle real-world sensor data, and manage over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates on constrained Zephyr-based devices. We will explore best practices to ensure data integrity, model governance, and security throughout the pipeline, including techniques to mitigate model drift and bias.

Through a demonstration of an end-to-end IoT architecture, participants will see how edge devices can continuously collect new data, trigger remote training in the cloud, and deploy updated ML models back to the field. The talk will also highlight how Git action-based workflows enable seamless version transitions for on-device inference, showing how TFLite Micro or other open-source models —can be integrated platform-agnostic.

CD Demands Continuous Testing: Why We Built a Testing Platform Layer on ECS Using Spinnaker - Jaime G. O'Byrne, JPMorgan Chase and Co
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:20am - 11:40am MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3B
Functional tests are not just an idealist luxury – at JPMorgan, they’re compulsory. Since designating Spinnaker as the strategic deployment tool for all public cloud deployments, users who were able to easily run tests using closures in our firm’s Jenkins offering were now finding themselves without a run-context. Where are your tests supposed to run when your deployment tool is now a distributed system?
From “bring your own environment” to “we will run all the firm’s tests on our infrastructure” - this talk will walk through some of the challenges, design decisions, tradeoffs, and general wrangling of complexity that comes from operating a distributed system like Spinnaker, in a highly regulated environment to support continuous testing on the cloud.

Who Are You Building For: Pipelines Have a Purpose - Andrew McNamara & Julen Landa Alustiza, Red Hat
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:15pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3B
Software is built for a purpose. The same property applies to build platforms!

We will show you how we are leveraging Tekton and Tekton Chains at Red Hat to create a build platform that meets developers where they are at. Developers start with the pipeline defined in their git repository – free for them to modify and update on their terms, with Tekton tasks ready to scan artifacts for vulnerabilities and Renovate pre-configured to help keep dependencies up to date.

This platform helps make sure that the artifacts are going somewhere. Using the detailed SLSA Provenance generated by Tekton Chains, the build platform enables policy driven development. Developers can see in their PRs whether they are on track to meet the target’s requirements – whether it is pushing to a development or production environment. Gone are the days saying “I didn’t know I had to do that!”

We won’t send the artifacts just anywhere, however, as we can tailor policies to ensure that you are meeting all of the requirements. The platform can inspect the provenance to ensure that artifacts are built using trusted steps and all required checks are good for takeoff!

Sponsored Session: Following the Golden Image Road: Best Practices and Pitfalls - Natalie Somersall, Chainguard
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3H
The rise and increased prevalence of software supply chain attacks, the strengthened security requirements of compliance frameworks, and the speed and complexity of automated software development and build processes have all driven the need for open source standardization, often called Golden Image or Base Image programs.

But while DevOps and security teams recognize how critical open source standardization is, few feel comfortable tackling a large and fragmented challenge like open source software delivery, especially across diverse and disparate developer needs.

Join Chainguard’s Natalie Somersall to learn about best practices and common pitfalls that you
should be on the lookout for when taking on a golden image program.

Audience members will walk away with a clear understanding of the right change management milestones to keep in mind, the critical implementation criteria, and the most compelling use cases to make developers more productive and deliver secure open source software from the
start.

Early Ethernet With Linux - Keerthy Jagadeesh & Siddharth Vadapalli, Texas Instruments
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2B
The automotive world is rapidly moving towards software defined vehicles & zonal architecture. Ethernet is the backbone of zonal architecture. The bandwidth and response time requirements of ethernet are higher than ever. The network stack with Linux makes it a compelling choice of OS for Gateway/ADAS SOCs.

With growing number of ECUs in the car, the gateway SOC needs to be ethernet ready very early to support FOTA and telematics applications. All the ECUs sitting behind the gateway need ethernet functionality for communication. With ROM code, boot loader kernel & the user space application taking time to initialize, the goal of early ethernet is a tricky one.

The presentation aims to cover the optimizations done at each phase of the Linux boot to achieve early ethernet. Top level optimizations:

1. Streamlined the boot flow from bootloader to get to Linux kernel faster.
2. Opening the network device early with driver optimization allows the hardware to be initialized early
3. Configuring majority of network using networkd scripts allows the interfaces to be ready early

Although the demonstration is done using TI's DRA821 Gateway SOC, this is applicable to any SOC using Linux.

Virtio for PCI Endpoint Subsystem in Linux Kernel - Manivannan Sadhasivam, Linaro Ltd
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2A
Traditionally, Virtio is primarily used in virtualized environments to allow the Hypervisor to Guest communication in an agnostic way. But Virtio as a standard can be leveraged outside virtualization for communication between any two entities.

The PCI Endpoint subsystem in the Linux kernel is used to run Linux on tiny PCI endpoint devices such as modems, NIC, GPU, etc... It requires the developers to write function drivers to communicate with the host. On most occasions, these function
drivers also require counterpart drivers on the host systems. This increases the time required for the project's development, as the development needs to happen on both the host and endpoint systems.

This is where Virtio comes in handy for the PCI Endpoint subsystem. With Virtio, developers can focus on developing the back-end drivers on the endpoint side and leverage the existing front-end drivers on host systems (such as virt-net, virt-gpu, etc...).

In this talk, Manivannan Sadhasivam will present the proposals received from the community for adding Virtio backend support to the PCI Endpoint subsystem and elaborate on the one that got a consensus to move forward, along with the future plans.

Extending Container Performance Isolation: Regulating Memory Bandwidth & Cache in the Kernel - Jonathan Perry, Unvariance
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2D
While containers provide isolation for CPU cycles and memory capacity, they offer limited protection against performance interference through shared CPU caches and memory bandwidth. Such contention was shown to increase application response times by 4-13x. The Linux resctrl infrastructure provides monitoring and control mechanisms, but has limitations for controlling real-world applications.

For example, child processes do not inherit their parent's resctrl groups, leaving any application that forks improperly monitored and controlled. Additionally, the current filesystem-based interface makes it difficult to build a controller that can monitor and adjust quickly enough to keep up with frequently changing application memory behavior.

This talk introduces the memory interference problem and presents new kernel mechanisms to address these limitations. A new collector enables effective control by capturing per-container measurements of cache and memory bandwidth usage at millisecond frequencies. We'll cover how the solution combines Intel RDT, AMD QoS, high-resolution timers, perf counters, and cgroups to achieve this. We'll discuss future work and opportunities for collaboration.

Steps Towards Achieving a Secure Linux Server - Karissa Sanchez & Angelina Vu, Microsoft
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3A
Linux is widely regarded as being a strong choice for those who value a secure operating system, but what is it about Linux that earns it this reputation? In addition, while it may be more secure than alternatives, it is by no means impenetrable. What are the weaknesses in a Linux system and how are they commonly exploited by malicious actors? More importantly, what can be done by administrators to ensure that their system is as secure as possible? We will use an example of somebody setting up an Ubuntu web server as a starting point and discuss ways in which the web server can be hardened. We will highlight the importance of implementing best security practices such as using Linux Security Modules, configuring firewalls, and more. As we discuss these best practices, we will demonstrate ways in which failing to use them can leave the web server vulnerable to malicious actors. Ultimately, the audience will leave the talk with an understanding of how Linux systems are vulnerable to attacks, what can be done to harden a Linux system, and how implementing some of these best practices can prevent attacks.

Making EU CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) Simplified and Non-scary for OSS Contributors - Roman Zhukov, Red Hat
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3C
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to safeguard European consumers and at first glance it targets only the EU market. But in fact the entire OSS ecosystem falls under its scope, which could be scary not only for Manufacturers or Stewards, but also is seen harmful for Individual Developers. Let’s debunk some of those myths! To preserve CRA’s positive intention, we as a community work hard to make sure its implementation incentivizes contributors to become good Open-Source citizens.

During this session we will explore how CRA impacts all players in the OSS ecosystem and why Maintainers MUST keep going with their brilliant work and shouldn’t be afraid. We will discuss what we at foundations and various expert groups are doing to help the open-source community navigate the actual requirements, as well as what standards and tools are available right now, followed by useful examples. They will include templates, samples, checklists, good practices and ideas how YOU can leverage: open-source tools like Security Scorecard, GUAC, Trustify, Minder, a few others; frameworks like Security Base Line and C2C2F; standards like OpenVEX; collaborations like Global Cyber Policy WG.

IREE: An AI Subsystem for Zephyr? - Peter Kourzanov & Anmol Anmol, IMEC
Tuesday June 24, 2025 11:55am - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2C
Machine Learning and AI are experiencing explosive growth. The concentration of AI power in the datacenters, as well as the current trends in training and inferencing infrastructure built around power-hungry GPUs and control nodes running interpretive languages on full-fledged monolithic operating systems brings about an evermore greater need for energy. In this talk we will sketch a different future: one where the needs of scaling are addressed in a way of embedding lightweight control software running on energy-efficient hardware into a sea of heterogeneous compute accelerators arranged in an energy-conserving fashion. One where the edge devices, be it small IoT nodes or an intelligence subsystem inside a mobile device can all be included in one global, distributed, cognitive and sustainable network supporting the users.
We intend to cover our recent developments in the way of porting IREE to run on Zephyr's POSIX layer, as well as experiments to see how Zephyr as a lightweight library kernel can support typical inference tasks that were used as workloads to tune an accelerator's micro-architecture (using gem5 simulator) as well as to emulate the design on the FPGA as a scale-up.

Standardizing CI/CD Observability: Insights From the OpenTelemetry CI/CD SIG - Dotan Horovits, AWS
Tuesday June 24, 2025 12:15pm - 12:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3B
We all know that observability is a must-have for operating systems in production. But we often neglect our own backyard - our software release process. As a result, we also lack standardization, and each CI/CD tool invent its own way of reporting about pipeline runs, which causes fragmentation, lock-in and difficulty to leverage existing observability tools.

We've been talking about the need for a common "language" for reporting and observing CI/CD pipelines for years, and finally, we see the first "words" of this language entering the "dictionary" of observability - the OpenTelemetry open specification and semantic conventions. On this talk the OTel CI/CD SIG leads will share the need, and the work of the SIG.

Join us to learn about this new SIG, its role, the milestones achieved and roadmap ahead. The talk will also discuss the alignment with adjacent open source communities such as the CDF's Jenkins and CDEvents and the Eiffel community.

Let’s Farm Out Our Image Builds! - Urvashi Mohnani, Red Hat
Tuesday June 24, 2025 2:10pm - 2:50pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2G
As the fast-paced AI-driven landscape of computing continues to diversify, the importance of multi-arch container images cannot be overstated. Applications are no longer confined to data centers but extend across multiple platforms, devices, and appliances.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could build images for every architecture from just one machine? It would be even more amazing if we could do that without the slowness of emulation! This is where Podman farm comes in. Podman farm is a new feature that allows you to 'farm' out builds to groups of machines you have access to, enabling you to easily build multi-architecture images with a single command. In this talk, we will highlight the challenges of multi-architecture builds and demonstrate how Podman farm addresses them, keeping performance and usability in mind.

Container images that run seamlessly across different architectures ensure consistency, reduce complexity, and accelerate the development cycle. This session will empower attendees to develop on one architecture and deploy confidently on another.

Bluebird Ballroom 2F
Leaked credentials aren't a new problem, but the primacy and complexity of Cloud environments means that leaked credentials are more likely than ever to be your problem. Not only that, but recent research has shown that it may only be a matter of seconds between a leak and an exploit. As the systems for developing, building, publishing and deploying applications become more sophisticated, the types of leaks developers need to guard against also change.

In this talk, we will present new research by the Google Open Source Security Team into when and how developers leak credentials in modern software applications. We'll discuss some of the common ways leaks occur for developers of open source artifacts like containers and software packages. We'll also provide practical insights into scalable credential scanning and ecosystem-level protections for developers and organizations who want to keep their credentials secure to help when every second counts.

ARM64 Linux Laptops Status Report - Stefan Schmidt, Linaro Ltd.
Tuesday June 24, 2025 2:10pm - 2:50pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2A
In June last year a bunch of new laptops, based on the Snapdragon X Elite, have been launched. All major laptop vendors launched devices, with over three
dozen to choose from at the time of this writing. Offering a nice alternative to ChromeBooks or MacBooks for Arm enthusiasts. No matter if you are intrigued by the battery life, performance or always wanted an arm64 based system to natively
compile for your embedded targets.

The core question is, how good is the Linux support. Being designed for Windows-on-ARM there is a risk Linux support is rudimentary at best. Does boot with UEFI work out of the box? Is there a device tree description for your specific device? Which hardware features are already supported mainline?
Is the firmware for various drivers available? How is the performance?

In short, is it usable as a daily driver for a developer? Stefan set out to find out, and report here.

In this talk he will provide details on the current state of development of these devices. An in-depth view on the hardware support: what is in mainline, which patches are pending and what is missing completely.

“Early Boot and Late Attach” of Remote Processors for Time Critical Applications - Beleswar Prasad Padhi & Vaishnav Mohandas Achath, Texas Instruments
Tuesday June 24, 2025 2:10pm - 2:50pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2B
Modern Heterogeneous SoCs designed for automotive use cases integrate multiple remote processors (rprocs) for Real-Time Operations, like Cortex-R5F for handling Capture and Display, alongside a general-purpose processor like Cortex-A to run HLOS like Linux. Automotive requirements are Time-Critical, Safety-Oriented and often demand for the Real-Time rprocs to be booted early for use cases like Early Chime, Early Rear View Camera (RVC). This presentation discusses about the “Early Boot + Late Attach” feature in remoteproc framework, where-in the rprocs would be brought up early in the boot flow by bootloader, and later Linux would just “attach” into the pre-running rprocs to establish IPC & suspend/resume. It also explains how developers can adopt this approach and shares debugging lessons. The talk also addresses how the framework handles key challenges with this approach, like identifying a pre-running rproc and allocating the resources required by it (memory carveouts, mappings, trace buffers etc.) by parsing the pre-loaded firmware, rather than re-initializing the core like in normal boot flow. A live case study will be presented on Early RVC application showcasing this feature.

Highlighting the AI in AbleIsm - Michelle Frost, JetBrains
Tuesday June 24, 2025 2:10pm - 2:50pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3G
The origins of artificial intelligence can be traced back to Ancient Greek mythology and philosophy, where early musings on what it means to be human began. Throughout history, these ideas have shaped our understanding of intelligence and influenced our pursuit of creating machines like us. However, this quest often relies on an idealized version of what it means to be “human”, leading to the exclusion of diverse representations and perpetuating ableism. In this talk, we will explore how AI technologies contribute to modern ableism by reinforcing narrow definitions of intelligence and humanity. We will examine the exclusions inherent in these definitions and discuss whom these technologies leave behind and how. By understanding these biases embedded in AI, we can better address its role in society and work towards more inclusive technology.

Lightning Talk: Serving Guardrail Detectors on Vllm - Evaline Ju, IBM
Tuesday June 24, 2025 2:25pm - 2:35pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3E
With the increase in generative AI model use, there is a growing concern of how models can divulge information or generate inappropriate content. This concern is leading to the development of technologies to “guardrail” user interactions with models. Some of these guardrails models are simple classification models, while others like IBM’s Granite Guardian or Meta’s Llama Guard are themselves generative models, able to identify multiple risks. As new models appear, a variety of large language model serving solutions are being developed and optimized. An open-sourced example, vllm, has become an increasingly popular serving engine.

In this talk I’ll discuss how we built an open-sourced adapter on top of vllm to serve an API for guardrails models, so that models like Granite Guardian and Llama Guard can be easily applied as guardrails in generative AI workflows.

Noisy Neighbor Detection: A New OSS Collector - Jonathan Perry, Unvariance
Tuesday June 24, 2025 3:05pm - 3:45pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2G
Why do some requests take so much longer than others? A major contributor, memory-related contention between containers, was shown to increase latency by 4-13x. It can be triggered by garbage collection, and existing observability cannot even detect it! Current collectors just show high CPU utilization, and the standard mitigation is to scale out and run at low utilization: expensive, and does not solve the response time problem.

We set out to build a new detector, but found that measuring every few seconds (current practice for collectors) is inadequate. Servers quickly jump between intense resource competition and under-utilization, so averaging over seconds does not show any contention. We needed measurements at millisecond frequency.

This session first examines real-world patterns that trigger interference and surveys methods for detecting memory interference, including findings from Google, Alibaba, and Meta's production environments. We'll then discuss the design of the OSS collector, and how it combines CPU performance counters, eBPF and high-resolution timers to identify noisy neighbors. We close with future directions and opportunities to get involved.

Enhancing Scalability of the Vmalloc Mechanism in the Linux Kernel - Adrian Huang, Lenovo & Uladzislau Rezki, Sony
Tuesday June 24, 2025 3:05pm - 3:45pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2D
The vmalloc mechanism in the Linux kernel provides contiguous virtual memory allocations, even when the underlying physical memory is non-contiguous. However, with increasing adoption and usage, the synchronization of vmalloc data structures poses significant performance challenges, particularly in many-core systems with 256+ cores.

This session will explore the scalability improvements made to the vmalloc mechanism, covering the following key topics:

1. An overview of the legacy vmalloc approach, which relies on a single global lock for data synchronization.

2. Introduction to an enhanced vmap node implementation designed to address the limitations of the legacy approach.

3. Identification and detailed analysis of two remaining performance bottlenecks despite the enhanced vmap node implementation, along with their proposed solutions.

Join us to gain insights into the evolving design of vmalloc and its implications for performance in modern high-core-count systems.

Solving the Phantom Dependency Problem for Python Packages - Seth Larson, Python Software Foundation
Tuesday June 24, 2025 3:05pm - 3:45pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2E
Endor Labs coined the term "Phantom Dependency Problem" to describe dependencies that are bundled into software packages but not represented in the package metadata. This is common in many software package ecosystems, but it is most prevalent in the Python package ecosystem (PyPI) where many packages include compiled C, C++, and Rust dependencies.

Bundled software not being included in package metadata is meaning means that software composition analysis (SCA), SBOM, and vulnerability scanning tools are not able to detect the bundled software. This can cause vulnerabilities to be missed and make.

The Security Developer-in-Residence at the Python Software Foundation, Seth Larson, worked on solving to the Phantom Dependency problem for Python packaging, involving work on standards and tooling.

By the end of this session attendees will understand the Phantom Dependency problem, how it relates to Python and other packaging ecosystems, how SBOM and SCA tools work, and what work was done to make bundled dependencies measurable and what that means for users.

Simulating Embedded Systems With Zephyr - Mohammed Billoo, MAB Labs Embedded Solutions
Tuesday June 24, 2025 3:05pm - 3:45pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2C
Hardware availability is among the many challenges embedded software engineers face when working on new designs. In the case of MCU-based applications, embedded software engineers need to wait for the hardware to arrive to validate portions of their application that exercise the underlying hardware. Additionally, if the application is part of a network and the network can contain hundreds or thousands of nodes, engineers may find it difficult to evaluate their design when the network is under load. Fortunately, The Zephyr Project RTOS has the infrastructure to allow embedded software engineers to evaluate as much of their design with access to the necessary hardware. In this talk, I will walk through these tools and how they can be used to evaluate the embedded software design before hardware is ready. The tools covered in this talk will be QEMU, BabbleSim, and Renode. They will be showcased with code, invocations, and results to demonstrate their value.

Unlocking the Full Potential of WPE To Build a Successful Embedded Product - Mario Sanchez-Prada, Igalia
Tuesday June 24, 2025 4:20pm - 5:00pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 2A
The Web engine is the most important component of a Web browser, enabling developers to leverage the Web Platform for their applications. And thanks to Open Source Web engines like WPE, it is now possible to build all kinds of products for embedded devices using Web-based technologies, from set-top boxes and smart home appliances to GPS devices and in-flight infotainment systems, to name a few.

Unfortunately, companies usually fall into the trap of applying one-off fixes to meet their immediate needs, accumulating technical debt and struggling to adapt to the evolving nature of the Open Source projects they heavily rely on. On top of that, it makes it difficult to ensure that the stable releases of such projects properly fit the needs of the products they intend to build, leading to spending too much time being reactive to integration-related problems instead of focusing on building a great product.

In this session, we will focus on explaining the best practices to unlock the full power of WPE without falling into such traps, so that you can focus on building a stronger foundation for your future embedded products with WPE, while keeping maintenance costs under control.

DEI Is Dead: What Happens Next? - Jennifer "Jen" Madriaga, The LInux Foundation
Tuesday June 24, 2025 4:20pm - 5:00pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3G
Many organizations, companies, and departments are now eliminating DEI programs, and with this development, you may be asking what happens next. Even though DEI programs may be disappearing, the conversation around what it entails will still exist. How do we frame the conversation now, and what can we do to advocate on behalf of underrepresented groups? I will walk through some ways in which we can move forward. As someone who had to work with a global audience, I found that the term DEI did not always resonate with everyone. From that experience, I had to find ways to discuss the issues that DEI was meant to address, such as disparity in experiences, perceptions around fairness, the need for better communication processes, and psychological safety on teams. We can use these lessons with a global audience that had different histories and cultural contexts to ensure that conversation is relevant for everyone.

Gotta Cache 'em All: Scaling AI Workloads With Model Caching in a Hybrid Cloud - Rituraj Singh & Jin Dong, Bloomberg
Tuesday June 24, 2025 4:20pm - 5:00pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3E
AI models are evolving rapidly, while also growing exponentially in size and complexity. As AI workloads become larger, it is crucial to address the challenges of rapidly scaling inference services during peak hours and how to ensure optimal GPU utilization for fine-tuning workloads. To tackle this, Bloomberg’s Data Science Platform team has implemented a “Model Cache” feature in the open source KServe project for caching large models on GPUs in a multi-cloud and multi-cluster cloud-native environment.

This talk discusses the challenges faced with hosting large models for inference and fine-tuning purposes, and how model caching can help mitigate some of these challenges by reducing load times during auto-scaling of services, improving resource utilization, and boosting data scientists’ productivity. The talk dives into how Bloomberg integrated KServe’s Model Cache into its AI workloads and built an API on top of Karmada to manage cache federation. AI infrastructure engineers will learn about the profound impact of enabling model caching and how teams can adopt this feature in their own AI infrastructure environment.

Tuesday June 24, 2025 4:20pm - 5:00pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3F
The rapid pace of innovation is accelerating, and the role of open technologies and methodologies (i.e., open source software, open AI, open data, open collaboration, etc.) have become increasingly critical to enable company competitiveness. Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) have emerged as a best practice to facilitate company collaboration and innovation with open source software, yet this org pattern is flexible and scalable to other “opens”. Come explore how organizations can adapt their OSPOs to be Open Program Offices (OPOs) and respond to rapid advancements in openness, especially for open community AI.

In particular, we’ll discuss:
- How to optimize the OPO organization for AI – what is different and what is leverageable
- Practical approaches for embedding openness of all kinds into your organization
- Where best to locate an OPO in an organization and the implications of the options
- Extending to open standards and open hardware
- How to drive org alignment and shape your open strategy

Openness is more than a philosophy—it’s a competitive advantage for the future of AI and for community development of any size.
