libuv merges io_uring with an 8x increase in throughput
Date: 4/19/2023 · Tags: #news, #devA PR to introduce initial support of io_uring for libuv has been merged. A lot
of downstream projects (nodejs, uvicorn, etc) will benefit from it.
Add io_uring support for several asynchronous file operations. io_uring is used when the kernel is new enough, otherwise libuv simply falls back to the thread pool.
Performance looks great; an 8x increase in throughput has been observed.
