Tachyum Enhances Prodigy Universal Processor Behind eBPF Port
Tachyum today announced that it has successfully ported the eBPF Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler on its Prodigy Universal Processor software emulation platform.
eBPF is a technology that can run sandboxed programs in a privileged context, such as the operating system kernel. It is used to extend the capabilities of the kernel safely and efficiently without requiring changes to the kernel source code or having to load kernel modules. Uses include kernel tracking, profiling and debugging; performance profiling; network packing filtering; security policies and events; and task scheduling. eBPF JIT is around 10 times faster than a generic eBPF interpreter.
