RIOC (Remote I/O Control) is a high-performance client-server protocol for interfacing with storage systems like HPKV.RIOC prioritizes latency, throughput, data consistency, and transport security in its design.Key optimizations in RIOC include vectored I/O to reduce system call overhead and zero-copy data transfers.Socket tuning in RIOC involves strategies like disabling Nagle's algorithm, adjusting buffer sizes, and setting low-latency parameters.RIOC uses lockless data structures such as lock-free sequence numbers, SPSC queues, and RCU for connection management.Concurrency in RIOC balances lockless algorithms, RCU-like patterns, fine-grained locking, and atomic operations for synchronization.Cache-conscious design principles in RIOC include cache line alignment, data locality optimization, and prefetching.Platform-specific optimizations in RIOC cater to Linux, macOS/BSD, and Windows environments for enhanced performance.RIOC's server architecture follows a thread-per-connection model with a worker pool to balance throughput and latency.RIOC implements TLS 1.3 with mutual authentication (mTLS) for secure client-server communication without compromising performance.
