Instrumentation at Scale: Having Your Performance Cake and Eating It Too

Brian Martin discusses the real-world performance costs of metrics libraries and shares strategies for low-overhead, "fearless" instrumentation. Drawing from his work at IOP Systems, he explores atomic primitives, per-CPU sharding, lock-free histograms, and eBPF integration to help software architects and engineering leaders maintain full system visibility without sacrificing performance.

From S3 to GPU in One Copy: Rethinking Data Loading for ML Training

Onur Satici explains how Vortex, an open-source columnar file format under the Linux Foundation, revolutionizes high-throughput data loading. He details how cascading lightweight encodings, layout-based segment pruning, and zero-copy memory pipelines eliminate CPU/NVMe bottlenecks to stream S3 data straight to GPUs at speeds up to 60 Gbps without requiring upfront data reprocessing.
