An Interview with Pekka Enberg: Modern Hardware, Old APIs

• Seastar

  25 8,055 9.7 C++

  High performance server-side application framework

  

Being fascinated by the evolution of hardware and software and the mismatch that sometimes happens between them — or rather, their intricate co-evolution — I couldn’t resist the opportunity to ask Pekka for his perspective on how Kernel APIs and architecture is standing the test of time. After all, Linux is a 30 year old project if you trace it back to the UNIX API from the 1970s. Pekka’s unique experience on both sides of the API brings an interesting perspective which also sheds light on the rationale behind the Seastar framework and the Scylla database architecture.
