Hi Mastodon, we are trying to give glommio a second life: https://github.com/glommio/glommio

it is not an official hard-fork, we only experiment with how it will go. If you used glommio before and will to give it a little bit of your time, ask me to add you to contributors!

#rust #glommio #io_uring

GitHub - glommio/glommio: Glommio is a thread-per-core crate that makes writing highly parallel asynchronous applications in a thread-per-core architecture easier for rustaceans.

#AI Helped Uncover A "50-80x Improvement" For #Linux's #IO_uring
Linux block maintainer and IO_uring lead developer #JensAxboe recently was debugging some slowdowns in the AHCI/SCSI code with IO_uring usage. When turning to #Claude AI to help in sorting through the issue, patches were devised that can deliver up to a "literally yield a 50-80x improvement on the io_uring side for idle systems." The code is on its way to the #LinuxKernel.
