Experimented with and threw away 600 lines of code for storing consensus-related data to LevelDB. Atomic transactions in syndtr/goleveldb are slow 😢. #golang

A 19.1x speedup in storing transactions ^^.

Reduce the number of goroutines per connection from three to two, and introduced a worker pool for handling concurrent messages from peers for Noise. github.com/perlin-network… #golang Perlin

Unsafe #golang hackery.

😌. Perlin

Simple optimization goes a long way - switched to an LRU cache for caching consensus queries and reduced latency per request from 3ms down to 500 microseconds. Perlin

I fixed up a memory leak that caught my eye just now and finished up a dashboard for benchmarking. Still in the office; gonna head off for the night. Perlin

Extended the cryptographic keys API for Noise, added a missing sanity check during handshaking, and did some performance tweaks. Perlin github.com/perlin-network…

#golang, but for cloud automation 😌. Perlin

Testing out consensus protocol implementations in high-latency environments really helps out with discovering networking edge-cases :). Did some concurrency cleanup for Noise. github.com/perlin-network… Perlin

Everybody, time to freak out! Nesterov does it again, getting O(1/k^4) rate with a second-order method! How refreshing and cool with all that ML craze, hail high-order methods! Main idea, use a third-order method and solve it using second-order information dial.uclouvain.be/pr/boreal/obje…

Almost hit my targets for this weekend,

Thinking about open-sourcing a few of my hackathon tools for making production-ready backends w/ analytics, monitoring, logging, error handling, etc. in 10 mins. #golang #starlark

Taking down this Twitter and moving to Kenta Iwasaki over time! Please do follow me if you'd like to keep updated :).
