Mourning Daniel Bristot de Oliveira


The academic and the Linux real-time and scheduling community mourns the premature death of Daniel Bristot de Oliveira. Daniel died at the age of 37 on Monday, June 24, 2024.

His wide interests outside of technology and his exceptional social skills made it easy to connect with him which resulted in many deep friendships reaching beyond the scope of work. He earned a joint PhD from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Italy, with a research thesis focusing on Automata-based Formal Analysis and Verification of the Real-Time Linux Kernel. Last but not least, the hwnoise tool (based on the osnoise tracer) is essentially meant as a replacement for hwlatdetect, extending coverage to multiple scenarios (including round-robin, per-CPU, and a subset of CPUs) and, again, increasing the level of detail in the report.
