System Architecture

Learn what natural language processing is, how it's changing the field of artificial intelligence and what it looks like in action.

There are some filesystems that use the Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) framework but only to provide a different view of an underlying filesystem, such as different file metadata, a changed directory hierarchy, or other changes of that sort. The read-only filtered filesystem, which simply filters the view of which files are available, is one example; the file data could come directly from the underlying filesystem, but currently needs to traverse the FUSE user-space server process. Finding a way to bypass the server, so that the file I/O operations go directly from the application to the underlying filesystem would be beneficial. In a filesystem session at the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Miklos Szeredi wanted to explore different options for adding such a mechanism, which was referred to as a "FUSE passthrough"—though "bypass" might be a better alternative.

TLA+ is a system for modeling all possible states of a system. On this model, you can then verify certain properties of this system. Smart people can use this to check that their thread scheduling runs all threads equally, or that their work queue will never overflow. In this article, we'll try and verify the fraught process of ordering pizza for a pizza party as a small introduction to the concepts and syntax of TLA+.

In a plenary session on the first day of the 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit, Stephen Bates led a discussion about peer-to-peer DMA (P2PDMA). The idea is to remove the host system's participation in a transfer of data from one PCIe-connected device to another. The feature was originally aimed at NVMe SSDs so that data could simply be copied directly to and from the storage device without needing to move it to system memory and then from there to somewhere else.

API security monitoring is essential to ensure the integrity and safety of APIs, but finding the right balance between instrumentation for monitoring and

Struggling with a crippling addiction to YAML? You aren't alone. We can help.

The 2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit was held May 8 to 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This year, a slightly enlarged crowd (150 developers) met to discuss ongoing core-kernel development projects, solve problems, and chart a course for the next year. LWN was, of course, there as well.

Artificial intelligence has taken the datacenter by storm, and it is forcing companies to rethink the balance between compute, storage, and networking. Or

For the past decade, ARM CPU makers have made repeated attempts to break into the high performance CPU market so it’s no surprise that we’ve seen plenty of articles, videos and discussi…

All devs need to be aware of strategy. David Eastman walks through how to use Wardley mapping in the dev process, for example to map a build.

This article teaches you about a simple, yet powerful, new network and distributed programming tool: JavaSpaces. It's the first in a series of articles on JavaSpaces that will be featured every other month in this column. JavaSpaces is a new Jini service that is based on a persistent object store and exchange mechanism. If you're writing Jini applications, you'll want to know how to use JavaSpaces so that you can coordinate the participants in a Jini federation; you can also use JavaSpaces outside of Jini to create sophisticated distributed applications. In either case, JavaSpaces can significantly reduce the time and effort required to design and implement your network applications. If you're working on these types of applications, you'll want to read about JavaSpaces and add it to your programming repertoire. (3,800 words)
