Glommio (pronounced glo-mee-jow or |glomjəʊ|) is a Cooperative Thread-per-Core crate for
Rust & Linux based on io_uring. Like other rust asynchronous crates it allows
one to write asynchronous code that takes advantage of rust async/await, but
unlike its counterparts it doesn't use helper threads anywhere.
Using Glommio is not hard if you are familiar with rust async. All you have to do is:
use glommio::prelude::*;
LocalExecutorBuilder::new().spawn(|| async move {
/// your code here
}).unwrap();For more details check out our docs page and an introductory article
Glommio is still considered an alpha release. The main reasons are:
- The existing API is still evolving
- There are still some uses of unsafe that can be avoided
- There are features that are critical for a good thread per core system
that are not implemented yet. The top one being:
- per-shard memory allocator.
