Today's links 29/04/2015 : Concurrency vs parallelism, Reenix #Rust OS, Pulsar Real Time Analytics, Business Town

• Concurrency is not parallelism : very good talk by Rob Pike on the misconception that often occur when people hear the word concurrency they often think of parallelism, a related but quite distinct concept. In programming, concurrency is the composition of independently executing processes, while parallelism is the simultaneous execution of (possibly related) computations. Concurrency is about dealing with lots of things at once. Parallelism is about doing lots of things at once.
• Reenix : unix-like operating system kernel in rust.  I like seeing this type of Rust project, it show the vitality of the language and its versatility. [github]
• Pulsar : Ebay Open-source real-time analytics platform and stream processing framework. Some nice characteristic for real time large scale CEP solution [github]
• Business Town : when real life cliche meets cartoonist .. long live captain moonshot !

Links of the day 09 - 03 - 2015

After a brief hiatus ( still enjoying the snow in Chamonix until the 15th ) here is Todays' links 09/03/2015: real time stream engines, high performance networking framework, RLE lib

• GearPump: Real-time Streaming Engine Using Akka [github] 
• Seastar : Really interesting framework for high-performance server applications on modern hardware. It leverage DPDK and single threaded model to enable fast zero copy communication, however like any higly specific framework model there is a certain learning curve. Applications using Seastar can run on Linux or OSv. [github] 
• TurboRLE : an Efficient and fastest Run Length Encoding library, nice real time stream engine using SQL semantics.
• Pulsar : Ebay start moving more aggressively into the opensource ecosystem game [ source ]
