This month's Vidéothèque movie provides a (very) short and simple introduction to the subject of memory architecture. But this is not, by far, the minimum any software developer should know about memory segmentation and management for their daily work; let alone computer scientists, or developers working in native code for embedded platforms, or even mobile applications. This is where this month’s Library choice shines in full: we are talking of the most comprehensive article you will eve...| De Programmatica Ipsum
Securing the Web: Rustls on track to outperform OpenSSL Prossimo is funding the development of Rustls, a high-quality TLS implementation written in Rust, with the aim of replacing less safe alternatives such as OpenSSL. This article goes into recent developments in performance tracking for Rustls and provides a performance comparison between Rustls 0.22.0 and OpenSSL 3.2.0 - the latest releases of both projects at the time of writing. Our investment in benchmarking has helped confirm that Rus...| www.memorysafety.org
In my recent post about the Rust compiler CI (continuous integration) and benchmarking infrastructure, I have promised to write a blog post about runtime benchmarks, which is a new addition to the benchmark suite of the Rust compiler. However, I realized that before doing that, it might be a good idea to first describe how does the benchmark suite actually work, what are its components and how is it used by the Rust compiler (rustc) developers, to introduce the necessary context. So, runtime ...| Kobzol’s blog
Today I’ve released Criterion 0.3.4 and Iai 0.1.0. I’m particularly excited by Iai, so read on to find out what I’ve been up to. Criterion Updates The main new feature in this release is that Criterion.rs now has built-in support for benchmarking async functions. This feature requires the async feature to be enabled. In addition to this, four other features - async-std, async-tokio, async-smol, and async-futures can be enabled to add support for benchmarking with the respective futures ...| bheisler.github.io
