Parallel Commits are an atomic commit protocol in CockroachDB. The feature promises to halve the latency of distributed transactions by performing all consensus round trips required to commit a transaction concurrently.
In this tutorial, we will implement a Rust program that attempts to utilize 100% of the theoretical capacity of three relatively modern, mid-range CPUs. We'll use an existing, highly efficient C++ implementation as a reference point to compare how our Rust program is doing. We start with a simple baseline solution of…
It acted as the 16-bit legacy device driver layer.
Guest post by Edward Huang, Co-founder & CTO of PingCAP In recent years, building a large-scale distributed storage system has become a hot topic. Distributed consensus algorithms like Paxos and Raft…
Read how we built a flexible, high-performance columnar compression mechanism for PostgreSQL to add scalability to our favorite database.
TL;DR: x86_64 decoding is hard, and the number and variety of implementations available for it makes it uniquely suited to differential fuzzing. We’re open sourcing mishegos, a differential fuzzer for instruction decoders. You can use it to discover discrepancies in your own decoders and analysis tools! In the…
A realtime server for the modern web
A high-performance and high-level purely functional data-parallel array programming language that can execute on the GPU and CPU.
In Firefox 70 we changed how pixels get to the screen on macOS. This allows us to do less work per frame when only small parts of the screen change. As a result, Firefox 70 drastically reduces the …
Tracking financial transactions at scale
Tokio is a runtime for writing reliable asynchronous applications with Rust. It provides async I/O, networking, scheduling, timers, and more.
The Serenity operating system turns 1 year old today. I'm counting from the first commit in the git repository , on October 10, 2018. Parts of the code had been around for a while before that, so this first commit was really about putting everything I was tinkering with into a shared repo.
Wind River announces Wind River Professional Services has been appraised at Level 3 of the CMMI® Institute’s Capability Maturity Model Integration.

I expect our global supply chain to collapse before we reach 2030. With this collapse, we won't be able to produce most of our electronics because their production depends on a very complex supply chain that we won't be able to achieve again for decades (ever?).
In the original release of Windows 95, you could change your time zone by clicking on the map, and the time zone you selected would highlight. Similarly,
pgDash is an in-depth monitoring solution designed specifically for PostgreSQL deployments. pgDash shows you information and metrics about every aspect of your PostgreSQL database server, collected using the open-source tool pgmetrics.
Performance metrics are surprisingly challenging to get right. Here we share how to create metrics that are accurate, precise, and useful!
ReactOS is a free, opensource reimplementation of windows
