Treiber in High-Level Programmiersprachen

This course explores writing network drivers in high-level programming languages such as Rust, Go, OCaml, Haskell, C#, Python, and Swift. The learning outcomes include understanding the advantages and disadvantages of using different languages for driver development, utilizing security features of languages for better drivers, evaluating performance costs of security features, and implementing support for IOMMU. The course teaches skills in writing network drivers for Intel 10 Gbit/s network cards in various languages, running completely in userspace. The teaching method involves comparing performance and latency measurements, analyzing why Rust may be slower than C, and conducting a meta-analysis of implementations to assess security features and complexity. The intended audience includes developers interested in driver development, network programming, and exploring alternative languages for driver projects.
