Introduction

"Volo" is latin. It means "I Fly".

Solaris currently lacks an interface to add custom implementations of socket address families, types and protocols to the kernel without modifying the kernel source.

Although the necessary datastructures are provided in the kernel (sockfs), the different available implementations are chosen in a hardcoded way.

"Pluggable Sockets" adds the required (simple) interface based on an extension of the semantics of /etc/sock2path, which is used to specify kernel modules that implement socket address families, types and protocols.

Grabbing the source

The Volo development gate is available via Mercurial:

ssh://anon at hg dot opensolaris dot org/hg/volo/volo-gate

micheng - 编写高性能的程序(1)

Jun 11, 2:34 AM

编写高性能的程序(1)     当现在CPU越来越快，内存越来越大的时候，我发现许多程序却越跑越慢。往往同一个大型应用程序的下一个版本要比以前对机器的要求高许多。当然许多时候是 因为功能越来越多的缘故。但是还是有许多其它的原因,比如为了赶进度而无法很好的优化。但是还是有一些地方对程序的性能有要求，比如对网络数据的处理，这 是因为CPU的性能不能完全胜任对网卡的处理，尤其在有防火墙的时候。     ...
