Current state and Roadmap
=========================
Wendelin.core works in real life for workloads Nexedi_ is using in production,
including 24/7 projects. We are, however, aware of the following
limitations and things that need to be improved:
- wendelin.core is currently not very fast
- there are big - proportional to input in size - temporary array allocations
in third-party libraries (NumPy_, `scikit-learn`_, ...) which might practically
prevent processing out-of-core arrays depending on the functionality used.
Thus
- we are currently working on improved wendelin.core design and implementation,
which will use kernel virtual memory manager (instead of one implemented__ in__
userspace__) with arrays backend presented to kernel via FUSE as virtual
filesystem implemented in Go.
__ https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/master/include/wendelin/bigfile/virtmem.h
__ https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/master/bigfile/virtmem.c
__ https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/master/bigfile/pagefault.c
In parallel we will also:
- try wendelin.core 1.0 on large data sets
- identify and incrementally fix big-temporaries allocation issues in NumPy and
scikit-learn
We are open to community help with the above.
