Longtime Linux Kernel Engineer With 14 Years At Intel Is Now At Meta
29 July 2025 - Meta
Facebook's Meta already employs an all-star team of Linux kernel engineers and it doesn't appear that they are over in recruiting top-tier Linux kernel talent. One of Intel's senior Linux software engineers is now the latest high profile kernel developer onboard at Meta.

Linux 6.17 Improves NUMA Locality For SMP Call Rather Than Deferring To Random CPU Core
29 July 2025 - smp_call_function_any
After all of these years of Linux dominating the high performance computing (HPC) space and other industries, one might think (most) all the interesting performance nuggets have been uncovered and well thought out and robust fallbacks in place across all important code paths. As we showcase almost each cycle, interesting new performance bits to be uncovered within the Linux kernel. For Linux 6.17 thanks to a NVIDIA engineer is applying a better fallback for NUMA locality rather than simply picking a random CPU core.
