A hands-on guide to building a pure-Python gguf and safetensors weight loader from scratch. Parse binary headers, memory-map tensor data, and convert to numpy arrays for inference — with real runnable code and a roadmap to production-grade.
A practical deep dive into eBPF kernel tracing, covering function hooking, map-based data collection, and real-world performance profiling patterns.
eBPF lets you run sandboxed programs inside the kernel without modifying source code or loading kernel modules. This post explores its architecture, verification pipeline, and how teams use it for observability, networking, and security at scale.
Compare Linux’s two dominant async I/O architectures, io_uring and epoll, with kernel internals, real benchmarks, and patterns drawn from production systems.
A deep dive into epoch based reclamation, its thread‑safety model, performance trade‑offs, and how it stacks up against alternative reclamation schemes.
