SUMMARY:How to Partition Resources and Eliminate (Most) OS Abstractions fo
 r Fast I/O - Pekka Enberg (University of Helsinki)

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nI/O is getting faster in servers that have fast p
 rogrammable NICs\nand non-volatile main memory operating close to the spee
 d of DRAM\, but single-threaded CPU speeds have stagnated. Applications ca
 nnot take advantage of modern hardware capabilities when using interfaces\
 nbuilt around abstractions that assume I/O to be slow. In this talk\, we\n
 present the parakernel model\, which aims to move the OS out of the way\, 
 to allow applications to take advantage of today’s fast I/O devices.\n\n
 Bio:\nPekka Enberg is a PhD student at the University of Helsinki\, workin
 g\non operating systems and application architecture to take advantage of\
 nfast  I/O devices. He has previously worked on the Linux kernel\, the OSv
  unikernel\, and is now working on ScyllaDB and Seastar.
