G102-103

In this 10-minute talk, I will dive into the often-overlooked world of Linux kernel performance, focusing on Hard IRQs and Soft IRQs. These two types of interrupt handling play a critical role in system efficiency and responsiveness, yet many developers are unaware of their inner workings. I will explore the fundamental differences between Hardirqs and Softirqs, their impact on CPU scheduling, and how they influence real-time performance. By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how these mechanisms work behind the scenes, and how to optimize applications for better performance.
