Improving Reactivity to I/O Events in Multithreaded Environments Using a Uniform, Scheduler-Centric API
Résumé
Reactivity to I/O events is a crucial factor for the performance of modern multithreaded distributed systems. In our scheduler-centric approach, an application detects I/O events by requesting a service from a detection server, through a simple, uniform API. We show that a good choice for this detection server is the thread scheduler. This approach simplifies application programming, significantly improves performance, and provides a much tighter control on reactivity.
