Abstract

Performance is a critical attribute of system software since even small improvements are amplified across the countless CPU instructions devoted to it. In the two previous installments of this column, I described how I ported the Unix sed stream editor1 from C into Rust2 and the system’s design.3 Here, I describe how I optimized its input/output (I/O) performance by exposing advanced operating system (OS) facilities as Rust abstractions.
