Introduction
All Linux lovers, and supporters of open source code and free software, in the Kanto area (or anywhere else) are invited to attend the next Tokyo Linux Users Group meeting. Membership is open to anyone. There are currently no membership dues or entrance fees.
TLUG meetings are traditionally small and unstructured (VERY CASUAL). Most of the benefit of the meeting comes from chatting with other Linux users and having informal discussions.
As a general rule, the Technical Meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of odd-numbered months and the Nomikai Meetings are usually held on the 2nd Friday of even-numbered months. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, so it is best to keep an eye on the mailing list, or check back here for date/venue changes as the date approaches.

“Introduction of open-source FPGA toolchains” by Yimin Gu
FPGAs are powerful devices, but the mindset different from software development and the blackbox-like toolchains (and also ) makes it hard to start on. Yimin Gu will introduce the status of the newly emerged open-source FPGA toolchains. Some boards will be shown on-site.
“How efficient are architectures x86/aarch/RISC-V etc. for a workload?” by Christian Horn
Let's benchmark a cpu-bound workload over systems of various architectures, while measuring power consumption. Who will be most energy efficient? Christian will introduce the test setup, talk a bit about the used software. Then details on the benchmarked workload (“bzcat”), on the various systems he benchmarked, and then introduce and discuss the results.
Other items on the agenda are:
- Introduction of new members
- News about Linux/Open Source, general announcements, Q&A
- Auction (bring any gear that would would like to donate to TLUG)
To help us make sure that there will be room for everyone to seat, please let us know if you are planning on attending
