  • Anyone using io_uring?
    8 projects | /r/rust | 18 Aug 2022
    Basically io_uring grew a lot, the latest API offers incredible tools but there are very few examples in any language (xnvme and fio), and in particular I'm struggling to understand how to do it in Rust: where should unsafe code stop? should I simply expose the io_uring api as unsafe, or should I do more work in C and present the ring when ready to rust?
  • libnvme VS xNVMe - a user suggested alternative
    2 projects | 4 Mar 2022
    The foundation of xNVMe is libxnvme, a user space library for working with NVMe devices. It provides a C API for memory management, that is, for allocating physical / DMA transferable memory when needed. An NVMe command interface allowing you to submit and complete NVMe commands in a synchronous as well as an asynchronous manner. Similar to libnvme, however, with a focus on I/O performance and portability. Thus, xNVMe and the libxnvme library works not just on Linux, but also on FreeBSD, Windows, and MacOS.

What are some alternatives?

nvme-cli - NVMe management command line interface.

VkFFT - Vulkan/CUDA/HIP/OpenCL/Level Zero/Metal Fast Fourier Transform library

fio - Flexible I/O Tester

openSeaChest - Cross platform utilities useful for performing various operations on SATA, SAS, NVMe, and USB storage devices.

CheekyKitten - The Cheeky Kitten encoder is a simple binary obsfucation tool. Corrupts binary using a hex shuffle algorithm.
