David S. Miller (born November 26, 1974) is an American developer working on the Linux kernel, where he is the primary maintainer of networking and the SPARC implementation, and is also involved in other development work. He was listed among the top 10 individual developers that have contributed almost 15 percent of the number of changes. He is also a member of the GNU Compiler Collection steering committee.

Work

SPARC porting

Miller ported the Linux kernel to the Sun Microsystems SPARC in 1996 with Miguel de Icaza.

He has also ported Linux to the UltraSPARC T1 in early 2006. Subsequently he conquered the UltraSPARC-T2 and UltraSPARC-T2+.

In April, 2008, Miller contributed the SPARC port of the Gold, a from-scratch rewrite of the GNU linker.

Linux networking

Miller is one of the maintainers of the Linux TCP/IP stack and has been key in improving its performance in high load environments. David was also a proponent of Van Jacobson's netchannels idea. He also wrote and/or contributed to numerous network card drivers in the Linux kernel.

Speeches

He gave the keynote at Ottawa Linux Symposium in 2000.

He gave a keynote at Linux.conf.au in Dunedin in January, 2006.

He gave a talk on "Multiqueue Networking Developments in the Linux Kernel" at the July 2009 meeting of the New York Linux User's Group.
