For what its worth, I think we're approaching this question from opposite ends of the spectrum. Rather than asking when it is permissible to kill, I look at it as "when is overriding free will (on victimless actions)…
Thanks for that explanation. I can't speak for the OP (or anyone else), but my take on the difference between them is that euthanasia is suicide, but only once all other options have been exhausted. I don't see "simple…
I haven't gotten around to trying it myself yet, but OpenFastpath+OpenDataplane supposedly has a userspace port of the FreeBSD stack that runs on DPDK through ODP-DPDK. http://www.openfastpath.org/…
(One of the authors here) This is by far my favourite post in this entire thread -- I don't think I've ever seen Seymour Cray referenced as an authority in this manner before :) Not specifically to OP, but for everyone…
(Disclosure: one of the authors here) I don't think CAT can be used to partition kernel and userspace -- I'm not even sure how you'd go about doing that given that you can (and do) have shared pages between them. That…
Not sure exactly what OP is referring to, but CSS-trees [1] are a classic example of cache-aware indexing structures that fetch entire pages into cache and arrange data so that most of the comparisons happen on cached…
Yes. Even the persistent memories that attach to the memory bus are currently quite a bit slower than DRAM (5-7x from estimates I've seen), while the difference with PCIe-attached ones is even more. I'm not sure what…
(Disclosure: one of the authors here) Wrapping a bunch of replies into one: Absolutely agree that we need to view fast storage as something other than disk behind a block interface and slow memory, especially with all…
