### Asychronous I/O interface ### Asychronous I/O interface
Going forward, we will support the `io_uring` asychnronous interface for storage devices on Linux-based systems. Since its introduction, `io_uring` has been proven to speed up slow-disk deployments wherever the OS syscall overhead gets too high and the software becomes IO bound. Going forward, we will support the `io_uring` asychnronous interface for storage devices on Linux-based systems. Since its introduction, `io_uring` has been proven to speed up slow-disk deployments as it decouples kernel work from the IO process. It uses two ring buffers to queue and manage I/O operations asynchronously, avoiding costly context switches and reducing overhead. Unlike mmap, it frees the user threads to do computations instead of waiting for the kernel to complete.
