The purpose of the conferences that we organize, including the conference of developers of high load systems
HighLoad ++, is the professional growth of each participant of the event.
Therefore, we are constantly trying to become better. And the main direction of the search for quality improvement is, of course, the conference program, its substantive part. The ideal event, in our opinion, is such that specialists of the highest level come to him to learn something new and learn. To
Sysoev ,
Rybak ,
Gabrielyan , Zolotukhin, Segalovich,
Anatolix ,
Shetuhin after the event said: “Yes, it was useful!”. That will be cool;)
How to do it?

That is why we will try to make HighLoad ++ new this year. We will process all information from all previous conferences and publish it. We will decipher a part, maybe we will make a book. And this year we will not repeat - we will focus on the new.
At the suggestion of
Alexander Krizhanovsky and Andrey Pantyukhin, we will try to invite
Linux / FreeBSD authors with stories about what work is being done in the area of ​​operating system support for a large query flow, internal algorithms (network interrupt handling, input / output scheduling, file systems, process planning, management memory, synchronization mechanisms in the kernel).
Ivan Zolotukhin received a proposal to abandon all reports in the form “How to set up MySQL correctly” and invite
real authors of real working systems . As Asko Oya showed on HighLoad / 2008 how users are registered on Skype - we need such speakers who work in real large projects. It is planned to do a lot of work at the invitation of Western speakers. In this case, we will try to cut off marketing attempts, yes, the English marketing report is still fascinating - but this is not enough.
Oleg Bunin threw in a new topic to discuss HighLoad ++ / 2010 topics - “
new architectures ”. Here opinions diverged:
- This does not need to be done, because the people do not know the basics (Ilya Kosmodemyansky, Alexey Rybak );
- There are no new architectures (Alexey Kharlamov, Stanislav Vyazovetskov);
- New architectures exist and there is something to learn: from the concept of cloud computing (Andrey Pantyukhin, Kirill Korinsky).
At the conference, carte blanche will receive
original research of almost any direction, for example, an anti-DDOS research team from Moscow State University: BGPv4 issues: peer authorization, some consequences of the unsuccessful use of flap dampening. Problem of TCP / IP: incorrectly closed connections and their consequences, what vendors write on this topic (Redhat / MS / Cisco) and how best to actually be. Illustrated tandem attack on TCP / IP Redhat-configured. Some interesting aspects of the TCP SACK mechanism and related problems.
