Nothing. I tried to address my desire for these items at the end there - it would serve as an excellent demonstration of the power of these languages (to take on a performance critical task like audio transcription).

Aside - I'd love to see similar rust and zig implementations like whisper.cpp. I'll donate $150 USD to zig and rust foundations as a bounty for respective MIT-licensed implementations of these. Let's keep it simple - scalar

Don't state of the art commercial systems do something similar? I assume there must be some automatic gain boosting the noise at the frontend of most pipelines, I know I've gotten transcribed voicemails that really just are silen

Yes, it's somewhat similar but much higher resolution. 16-byte "granules" instead of multi-KB/MB/GB pages. Also - instead of having the OS determine how to handle paging, the CPU can tell whether it should fail the

Once the data escapes the CPU via a load or store, it's hard to enforce something like a "type" in hardware. ALU instructions operating on what appears to be integers could easily have been operating unknowingly on virtual a

ARM's MTE is often nicknamed "HWASAN" - it implements a lock-and-key metaphor. The memory allocations emitted by the compiler will get a "coloring" for the base pointed which can be matched with the specific region

It does seem like a lot. But it's also important to consider how many miles were driven by the fleet and how many hams crashed into emergency vehicles over the same amount driven. I'm not a Tesla apologist, I just can't make

The letter u in contexts like these is usually used to represent the greek letter mu -- μ -- and like the SI units prefix indicates "micro". It might not be the case for io_uring, but that's what I'd assumed.

I'd be curious to see how this ptrace tool performs compared with one that relies on ELF symbol interposition (a la LD_PRELOAD). Other heap profilers (heaptrack, libtcmalloc, etc) use this method. Presumably the loader resolves the s

strace is limited to system calls but this particular tool uses ptrace to trap symbolic references to mmap, malloc, calloc, etc. This provides better resolution because your allocator probably asks for large chunks of memory from the syste

If you ask me, the GSL [1] alone is a fairly radical departure from C++ that delivers a lot of safety. I don't know if it's gotten much popularity, though. Probably because it introduces a similar disruption like you might find f
