fastepoll 1.0.0

Fast asyncio and uvloop-replacement for Linux using multiprocess epoll and shared memory

Description

Fast epoll server for Python3 (asyncio and uvloop server replacement) w/ Linux and TCP-support only (for now).

HTTP benchmarks

Tools used: wrk with the parameters 120 connections over 6 threads. Hardware: server running on a 50% underclocked Intel Core Ultra 7 with 22 CPU threads.

Name	Requests per second	Connection type
Asyncio	14466	close
Uvloop	30608	close
Fastepoll	76072	close
Asyncio	109428	keep-alive
Uvloop	134465	keep-alive
Nginx	347217	keep-alive
Fastepoll	408639	keep-alive

Example code

Note: this code won't reach benchmark performance above due to wrk being picky about required missing HTTP headers such as the date field. For the exact benchmark code used above check out bench directory.

import fastepoll

class Test:
	def connection_made(self, transport):
		self.transport = transport

	def data_received(self, data):
		self.transport.send(b"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\nHello World")
		self.transport.close()

	def eof_received(self):
		pass

fastepoll.run_forever(Test, ":::8080")
