Performance and Scalability
2015-10-26 Performance - Scale Meeting
Improved performance and scalability is one of the primary goals of Fedora 4 development, and a number of tests have already been performed. However, as software development proceeds, it is necessary to continuously test performance and scalability to establish benchmarks and validate use cases. To this end, a group of stakeholders has gathered to review and validate past test results, document additional use cases, and establish new benchmarks.
The stakeholders met on October 26 and November 9. If you are interested in participating, please attend the next meeting (TBD).
