In article <199710280505.XAA03547@solaria.sol.net> you write: >I've seen the AIO changes and they look promising, but I was wondering >how much further things had progressed. > >I'm seriously examining the possibilty of running something like >Cyclone from Highwind Software, for which threads are a requirement. >Due to the I/O intensive nature of such a beast, the old pthreads >stuff probably is not up to the challenge. The same holds for the Squid proxy cache version 1.2 (currently in beta, see ftp://squid.nlanr.net/pub/squid-1.2.beta). It has AIO implemented with pthreads and I've tried running it with libc_r.a on 2.2.5 but that fails miserably :-(. A native AIO implementation would be nice especially for the open()ing of files because that takes >50% of the time for one of the Squid caches I maintain during which other connections just stop. >Any recent developments? I'm interested too and would like to test Squid 1.2 on FreeBSD with threads and/or AIO. Is there a special FreeBSD mailinglist for this kind of stuff? Arjan
