NBR: Neutralization Based Reclamation
Safe memory reclamation (SMR) algorithms suffer from a trade-off between bounding unreclaimed memory and the speed of reclamation. Hazard pointer (HP) based algorithms bound unreclaimed memory at all times, but tend to be slower than other approaches. Epoch based reclamation (EBR) algorithms are faster, but do not bound memory reclamation. Other algorithms follow hybrid approaches, requiring special compiler or hardware support, changes to record layouts, and/or extensive code changes. Not all …

3 years ago, I replaced the bottom bracket bearing for the bike I use at Burning Man after it self-destructed from rust in 2022. I bought one that claims to be waterproof, but prepping this year, I noticed the pedals weren't moving nicely, so took it apart and the new bearing is rusted.
Maybe it is waterproof? Definitely not dust proof. Most of what was in there was the lithium grease now turned into paste with playa dust.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…

Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…
