    Async Rust in the Linux Kernel

    Recorded October 20, 2022

    Join us for an interactive, complimentary Mentorship Session exploring Async Rust in the Linux Kernel, with Wedson Almeida Filho, Software Engineer, Microsoft.

    Rust has an asynchronous programming model that allows for different runtimes. This talk will discuss this model and the current state of the runtime for the Linux kernel, looking at details of its executors and reactors. Finally, we'll show examples of kernel code that leverages these facilities, and discuss how they compare to their C counterparts in terms of simplicity and scalability.
