  5. fsfilter-rs

    Experimental: A rust library to monitor filesystem 🪛 and more in windows

  6. LRUHashTable

    A cross-platform, multi-core optimized C++20 LRU Hash Table featuring zero runtime allocations, custom TTAS spinlocks, and Windows Kernel support.

    Project mention: High-Performance Array-Backed LRU Hash Table | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-14
  7. OptimisticCache

    An allocation-free, ultra-low-latency C++20 concurrent cache for multi-platform User-Mode and the Windows Kernel (WDM/KMDF). Utilizes SeqLocks and NUMA sharding to deliver wait-free, nanosecond reads.

    Project mention: High-Performance Optimistic Concurrency Cache | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-15
  8. KmStringPatternMatch

    High-performance C++20 multi-pattern string matching engine for Windows kernel drivers (x64/ARM64). Evaluates thousands of rules in a single pass with zero search-time pool allocations, non-recursive stack-safe wildcards, 64-bit SWAR, and path scoping for minifilters.
