A Linux developer has implemented a couple of changes to a caching algorithm which claim to deliver a 6% performance improvement in I/O operations. IO_uring creator and self-confessed Linux kernel IO dabbler, Jens Axboe, decided to implement the code changes after putting them off for years but admits the changes were “literally a 5 min job” (h/t Phoronix).
Something I've had in the back of my mind for years, and finally did it today. Which is kind of sad, since it was literally a 5 min job, yielding a more than 6% improvement. Would likely be even larger on a full scale distro style kernel config.https://t.co/f4nPBCc6iFJanuary 15, 2024
