Reducing UDP latency

Hi! I’m one of Embox RTOS developers, and in this article I’ll tell you about one of the typical problems in the world of embedded systems and how we were solving it. Control and responsibility is a key point for a wide range of embedded systems.

On the one hand, sensors and detectors must notify some other devices that some event occurred, on the other hand, other systems should react as soon as possible. Examples of such systems include CNC, vehicle control, avionics, distributed sensor systems and lot of others. At the same time, it’s really hard to develop bare-metal programs for a number of reasons: Developers don’t have much choice for frameworks and languages: it probably will be ANSI C and assembly language even for non-time-critical parts of code which can be developed faster with something else (for example, debugging output, collecting statistics, some user interface for diagnostics and so on)

Scaling Driver Compliance across Lyft

A passenger opens the app, requests a ride, and just a few minutes later there is a car with a friendly driver in front of them. They may know this driver went through a background check and other vetting; however, many might not realize all the complexity in the on-boarding process. Driver and vehicle requirements vary substantially across markets (and even at very proximate locations) due to varying market dynamics and government regulations.

Cloudflare’s Current Expansion Is Different from the Others

The company is expanding its US network in a big way, and it’s turned to two edge data center startups for help. In January, Cloudflare, which helps companies make their web services run faster and be more secure – and which more recently started to use its global data center network to also provide cloud computing services – said it would expand the network in the US with three dozen new locations. Shortly thereafter, the company said it would add even more locations in the US – about the same amount as in the first announcement.
