A problem I'm having is that I don't know if the trends I'm seeing are self re-enforcing or not.

Today's hardware and system software make an inadequate platform, particularly given support for synchronous programming models is deemed critical for software productivity. Novel microsecond-optimized system stacks are needed, reexamining questions around appropriate layering and abstraction, control and data plane separation, and hardware/software boundaries. Such optimized designs at the microsecond scale, and corresponding faster I/O, can in turn enable a virtuous cycle of new applications and programming models that leverage low-latency communication, dramatically increasing the effective computing capabilities of warehouse-scale computers." -- Dave Täht CEO, TekLibre, LLC http://www.teklibre.com Tel: 1-669-226-2619 _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
