In addition we will have some other cool stuff for you to see and learn about in the realms of Microwave. The Engineering Village is back as well. UEN engineers who design, build and maintain the UEN network Will be available for you to ask any question that is on your mind. At the IVC (Interactive Video Conferencing) Village You can get your hands on all of the cool new tech that the UEN Video engineers are playing with.

The former link is a description of basic metrics that perfSONAR measures. The perfSONAR toolsuite is the de facto standard in the Research and Education and government communities. The adoption is growing rapidly as various organizations have put additional sustained development efforts into the tool suite. Also, some official and a lot of ad-hoc development is going into porting the tool suite to platforms such as the Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, Intel Nuc, Mirabox, Cubox, Gigabyte Brix, ECS Liva and other small form factor ARM and Intel based devices. CHPC uses the perfSONAR toolkit for ongoing network measurements and troubleshooting with peer institutions and national labs. A perfSONAR Deep Dive will be at Santa Cruz next month (June 18-19).: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/perfsonar-deep-dive-northern-cal-tickets-16527688762 --Joe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
