Listen to Travis Lazar from Ampere Computing - a high-performance arm-based (aarch64) microprocessor development company - talk about how innovative continuous testing techniques have driven rock-solid quality, compatibility, and stability to data-center class products. Through full automation and performance focused methodologies, Ampere is doing more with less, driving efficiency in HW/SW development to higher levels, and engaging with Open Source communities in new ways that benefit the entire industry.In this talk, Travis will share details about Ampere’s continuous regression system: how it’s being used to analyze performance, spot problems, drive changes to open source code, and automatically generate tuning guides for various workloads through perf-backed analysis and reports. See how Ampere’s support costs are lowered, performance is continually improved across all products (past, present, future), and documentation is generated in real-time for new code contributions.
