A Mechanism to Isolate CPU Topology Information in the Linux Kernel - CPU Namespace

This course aims to teach learners how to isolate CPU topology information in the Linux kernel using the CPU Namespace. The learning outcomes include understanding how the CPU namespace virtualizes CPU information, enabling context-aware interfaces, and proposing mechanisms for CPU isolation in containerized environments. The course covers topics such as the need for coherent information interfaces, security implications on multi-tenant systems, and the advantages of CPU isolation over lightweight VMs. The teaching method involves a presentation discussing the background, solutions, performance, proof of concept, challenges, and a Q&A session. This course is intended for individuals interested in Linux kernel development, system administration, containerization, and CPU resource management.
