Stuff like filling a 100Gbit pipe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15367421 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15367421 I think that's some studly work, so much so that I'm sitting at the FreeBSD conference at Netflix right now. I'm retired but some people got me interested in this stuff and I asked netflix for some hardware to look at numa performance issues. I showed up and they just handed me a 2U server, 2 Haswell sockets, 14 cpus (unthreaded) per socket, 256GB, 26TB of SSD. Neat machine :) So far, from what I've seen, Netflix seems like they are close to what they describe on their culture page (that's been linked on this page) but it's early on for me. I can say that playing with the hardware, learning about the issues, talking to people about kernel work has got me pretty pumped. Fun problems, fun people.
