We'd like to thank everyone for showing up, and especially thank
@HasuraHQ
for being such gracious hosts!
pictures follow :]
Hello, Systems Enthusiasts!
the v1.0 release of the Bengaluru Systems Meetup is happening in Bengaluru on the 6th of July (11AM-1PM)!
CFP and Venue details coming soon. Stay tuned!
We are live with Bengaluru Systems v2.0 hosted by
@dyte_io
, with a talk on reverse-engineering RBG Keyboard Backlights with Linux Kernel Drivers by
@BansalRishit
!
Hello, Bengaluru Systems Enthusiasts! let's boot up our meetup :)
we're going to be:
1. Using Hasgeek for meetup registrations and talk submissions (link in bio)
2. Using Telegram to discuss and coordinate meetups -
1/
Here's our official charter. This document will set up a framework for us to proceed as a community, and hopefully answers a lot of FAQs about talks, sponsorships, curators and their responsibilities, and more.
Do give it a read!
thank you for the mention,
@eatonphil
! We're super, super happy that we're able to bring together systems enthusiasts in Bengaluru to geek out together :D
New post telling a bit of the history behind ; why it only exists due to folks like
@georg_kreuzmayr
and
@ngeloxyz
; the explosion of systems meetups around the world; and encouragement and suggestions for future organizers!
Up next,
@ptrCast
with a talk on the internals and implementation of a JIT interpreter - with perf comparisons and a code walkthrough of a hand-written JIT Engine!
Are you ready, Systems Enthusiasts of Bengaluru?
Speaking at our first-ever meetup on 6th July, we have:
@simsimsandy
with "Learn about the systems that power GenAI applications" and
@vivekgalatage
with "The Browser Backstage: Performance vs Security"
(talks linked below!)
Our second meetup page is live! We have an incredible lineup of talks, you can find all deets on our event page:

For the next talk,
@uds5501
walks us through the internals of MongoDB and WiredTiger, specifically the page eviction architecture, concurrency control, and what happens when the cache gets too full, too soon, with stories from a prod incident!
1 Week Left! 🌧️

And last but not least, for our first ever lightning talk, we had
@ShrinivasNavin
walk us through his journey implementing Fissure, a torrent client he built from scratch (in
@rustlang
!)
and we are live with our next meetup, this time in collaboration with Rust Bangalore and
@FOSSUnitedBLR
- this will be fun :D RSVP AS soon as possible!
First,
@simsimsandy
walked us through GPU architecture, optimizations, CUDA, and the challenges of running large ML models on GPUs, with a special look at the attention mechanism, KV-Cache optimizations, and PagedAttention!
Then, we had
@vivekgalatage
walk us through web browser architecture (with a focus on chromium), profiling, debugging, and various implementation challenges with a focus on security, taking a special look at the Spectre vulnerability.
and that's a wrap :D we hope to see many more of you folks at the next one, and we hope to see some more talks across a much larger variety of systems topics!
Until then, see you!
(PS Don't forget to join our telegram group and join our discussion on io_uring! link in bio)
We're also going to be putting in place a few basic guidelines, such as a code of conduct, rules regarding sponsorship, talk selection guidelines, and some guidelines for talk curators. More on that soon!
Let's make this happen, and learn more about these systems together! 🚀🚀
"The Browser Backstage: Performance vs Security" (): Join
@vivekgalatage
on a journey through web browser internals, performance, observability, and security exploits, with a focus on chromium-based browsers!
"Learn about the systems that power GenAI applications" (): Join
@simsimsandy
on a journey exploring the runtime environments of LLMs, and how we can squeeze as much perf as possible out of GPUs!
@shrirambalaji
Hi Shriram! we have a slot for 20min or so still open, and the CFP will be open until 3PM tomorrow IST; however, not sure if we can do remote speakers.
@thisizkp
seeing how both IndiaFOSS and Rust India run their communities on Telegram, and also given the fact that it's got a lower barrier to entry than Discord, telegram stood out as a good entrypoint.
