Do you know of any blog/papers which talks about this - using topology for such interval data types.

AnbeSivam··on Intel’s Xpoint is broken
From the article -

> They claimed 10x the density of DRAM, it is now 4x

> Latency missed by 100x, yes one hundred times, on their claim of 1000x faster, 10x is now promised

> More troubling is endurance, probably the main selling point of this technology over NAND. Again the claim was a 1000x improvement, Intel delivered 1/333rd of that with 3x the endurance.

From this seminar few months back - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXurTRtmfWc ,

I think density can be increased, this is only the initial product,

and latency is contributed more by PCIe/OS/application rather than the underlying 3d-xpoint material. The slides from the article are for the PCIe SSDs, I wonder whether the earlier claimed latency, still holds well with NVRAM.

I wonder why the endurance is so lower than the earlier claims.

AnbeSivam··on Btree vs. LSM
What are your thoughts on SBE vs Cap'n Proto. I don't know much about serialization libraries, but was thinking about looking into these both soon. Since you are using Aeron, I thought you would have looked into SBE( since developer being same for both) and not decided to go with it.
AnbeSivam··on KickassTorrents resurfaces online
India, using a low grade ISP. May be it is that my ISP has very limited number of IP addresses, and he shares the same of IP with many users.

I have noticed the issue with IP addresses in Indian train ticket booking site also. Tatkal train tickets [1] open at a specific time of a day, and there is a huge rush to book tickets at that time. and the site allows only 2 tickets for an IP. Sometimes when I try to book Tatkal tickets, I would be denied because of some else already having booked from my ip. so I wondered whether my ISP has been lending some of it IPs for some automated train ticket booking brokers.

Anyone facing issues with Cloudflare's captcha. Not just for this site, I have faced this issue with other sites too. Only around 50% of the time I am able to get past their captcha, most other times I just get frustrated and close the page.

Does geocar's comment in this link - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10271348#10273922 , talks about the same thing.

I was earlier reading the above link, and also the links you posted, and was wondering whether geocar was talking about VPAID ads.

Edit: corrected the link

AnbeSivam··on Linux Kernel Library
Though this paper is from 2010. it is interesting because of the recent set of commits. http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1511.0/01898.html http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1511.0/01980.html

I find it similar to rumpkernel(based on netbsd), but based on linux, so drivers are available for more devices. Wondering if this would allow me to use nvidia CUDA libraries in smartos/illumos.

AnbeSivam··on IncludeOS: Run your C++ code directly on virtual hardware
Hope it gets built for cross platform. I wish this could be run on top of smartos zones, instead of kvm or xen. http://dtrace.org/blogs/brendan/2013/01/11/virtualization-pe...

smartos zones also has a linux compatibilty layer ( lx branded zones ).

Video of this talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrfD3pC0VSs Though it is from 2014, it is interesting on comparison between linux and smartos(solaris). There is also a recent, shorter video http://containersummit.io/events/sf-2015/videos/going-contai...
