Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:Getting somewhat closer to releasing a new version of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swad</a>. I now improved the functionality to execute something on a different worker thread: Use an in-memory queue, providing a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/lockfree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lockfree</a> version. This gives me a consistent reliable throughput of 3000 requests/s (with outliers up to 4500 r/s) at an average response time of 350 - 400 ms (with TLS enabled). For waking up worker threads, I implemented different backends as well: kqueue, eventfd and event-ports, the fallback is still a self-pipe.So, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/portability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portability</a> here really means implement lots of different flavors of the same thing.Looking at these startup logs, you can see that <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kqueue</a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> and other BSDs) is really a "jack of all trades", being used for "everything" if available (and that's pretty awesome, it means one single <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/syscall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#syscall</a> per event loop iteration in the generic case). <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#illumos</a>' (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solaris</a>) <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/eventports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eventports</a> come somewhat close (but need a lot more syscalls as there's no "batch registering" and certain event types need to be re-registered every time they fired), they just can't do signals, but illumos offers Linux-compatible signalfd. Looking at <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>, there's a "special case fd" for everything. 🙈 Plus <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/epoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#epoll</a> also needs one syscall for each event to be registered. The "generic <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POSIX</a>" case without any of these interfaces is just added for completeness 😆

Alan CoopersmithI've moved here from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@alanc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fosstodon.org/@alanc</a> and before that at <a href="https://twitter.com/alanc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/alanc</a> - you can find my previous posts there.I'm currently a Senior Software Architect working on the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solaris</a> operating system at Oracle. I came up through the X11 & Desktop teams, and am still involved with packaging X11 & GNOME for Solaris, along with our overall FOSS packaging efforts.I've been a board member & release manager for the X.Org Foundation as well, and still do many of X.Org's package releases & co-lead its security team.I also am the Security Assurance Lead for Solaris, overseeing our efforts to prevent & fix security bugs in our software.My professional interests not surprisingly include software security and how to improve it, C programming (and how to do better at it when we can't move away), interoperability (including improvements to the C & POSIX standards), and working with open source communities.
