Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Getting somewhat closer to releasing a new version of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></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" target="_blank">#<span>lockfree</span></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.</p><p>So, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/portability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>portability</span></a> here really means implement lots of different flavors of the same thing.</p><p>Looking at these startup logs, you can see that <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kqueue</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></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" target="_blank">#<span>syscall</span></a> per event loop iteration in the generic case). <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illumos</span></a>' (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Solaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Solaris</span></a>) <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/eventports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eventports</span></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" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>, there's a "special case fd" for everything. 🙈 Plus <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/epoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>epoll</span></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" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a>" case without any of these interfaces is just added for completeness 😆</p>
