Data Center Performance Index : Performance index aiming at providing a reliable idea of the performance and efficiency of the datacenter. It primarily focuses on Availability, Efficiency and Environmental impact. This effort is lead by Dean Nelson, Uber Had of computing.
Physical Limits of Computing : A look at the limitation of compute from a physicist point of view. It seems that some limitations are fundamental and require a new and different approach in order to create compute device that goes around these limitations.
DnsControl : system built to manage DNS systems. To some extent, it looks like a terraform for DNS where you can plug multiple DNS backend providers. This allows you to deploy and distribute your DNS infra in an agnostic way across multiple cloud provider. [github]
Multi-order radix tree : The Linux kernel radix tree is a data-structure at the centerpiece of the memory management system. With the advent of new memory model ( persistent one). This data-structure needs to evolve. However, like with everything touching memory, it will take some time and many many re-submission to the mailing list. This article present a possible evolution path for this venerable data-structure.
