2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.
2018-03-02erts: Refactor DistEntry.status flags into a stateSverker Eriksson
Just to simplify and get 4 distinctive states IDLE, PENDING, CONNECTED and EXITING. The old possible flag combos were: 0 PENDING CONNECTED CONNECTED|EXITING EXITING The two EXITING states did not serve any purpose other then as a slight optimization in monitor_node(_,false,_) to shortcut EXITING when there can be no monitors.

2017-11-23erts: Fix erlang:monitor toward c-nodesSverker Eriksson
by suppressing DOP_MONITOR_P, DOP_MONITOR_P_EXIT and DOP_DEMONITOR_P if not supported by the remote node. In 17e198d6ee60f7dec9abfed272cf4226aea44535 I changed the behavior of erlang:monitor to not raise badarg for c-nodes but instead create a monitor to only supervise the connection. But I forgot to prevent DOP_MONITOR_P and friends from being sent to the node that does not expect them. Note: We test both DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR and DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR_NAME for the node to support process monitoring. This is because erl_interface is buggy as it sets DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR without really supporting it. ToDo: Should erl_interface stop setting DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR or should we change the meaning of these flags?

2017-03-08erts: Do not generate atoms on old latin1 external formatSverker Eriksson
term_to_binary will always generate utf8 atoms ATOM_UTF8_EXT and SMALL_ATOM_UTF8_EXT. Old latin1 atoms, ATOM_EXT and SMALL_ATOM_EXT, are still decoded.

2014-02-24erts: Set default external enc to use new float schemeLukas Larsson
This change was triggered by the OSE float printing function not working exactly the same way as linux/win32. But it is also a good one in general as it cuts size in more than half for floats.

2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format (term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one extra word for "alloc_size").
2010-11-02Be less eager to set dist entry in busy stateRickard Green
The runtime system is now less eager to suspend processes sending messages over the distribution. The default value of the distribution buffer busy limit has also been increased from 128 KB to 1 MB. This in order to improve throughput.
2010-11-02Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limitScott Lystig Fritchie
Id: OTP-8912 This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576". This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used: #define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024) When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit. Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second. A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of higher memory usage. A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems. Test suite: there are two tests: a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very low will actually change behavior.
