Userspace RCU Library: RCU Synchronization and RCU/Lock-Free Data Containers for Userspace
Session information has not yet been published for this event.
One Line Summary
Presentation of the Userspace RCU library features.
Abstract
This presentation introduces the Userspace RCU library, a highly-scalable LGPL synchronization library providing very low-overhead and linearly scalable read-side synchronization, as well as lock-free data containers such as queues and stacks. This is followed by a presentation of ongoing work on a RCU red-black tree and a lock-free RCU hash table. Finally, the topic of efficient user-space wake-up management (both in terms of overhead and power-consumption) is discussed.
