Description
Using per-core data structures in user-space for memory allocators, ring buffers, statistics counters, and other general or specialized purposes typically comes with a trade-off between speed and scaling of memory use for workloads which consist of fewer threads than available cores.
This is especially true for single-threaded processes (quite common) and for containers which are constrained to a limited number of cores on large many-core systems.
This presentation introduces per-memory-space current virtual CPU IDs extension to Restartable Sequences, which uses the scheduler knowledge about the number of concurrently running threads within a process to allocate virtual CPU ID numbers, and expose them to user-space through Restartable Sequences.
