Java AIO implementation is supposed to benefit from OS taht has a specific way to deal with AIO (through completion queues, like what is done on Windows, some Linux versions and probably other OS). This page is providing some information : http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html#aio Another very complete description : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4093185/whats-the-difference-between-epoll-poll-threadpool Regarding AIO/ePoll on linux, an interesting paper : https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:CwPj9geCCTkJ:www.linuxsymposium.org/archives/OLS/Reprints-2002/lahaise-reprint.pdf+&hl=en&gl=fr&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESj6bzG_kAkqH8KQGWL5Evt4yDbIEhrsaaNMD4eD7p-bhJHoAjjQeT3Ys8fXWY_dn88WY98kW0Hg2-sBIPrvFpBpniMrKK6wY07lY80x1ZT9tEX_TERnxwosL6WXjokFs_huSdX6&sig=AHIEtbRAgWiO-HR0BOjkxh3JcYetJpTXnA > > After few year of usage I start to think the whole java.nio and > java.concurency are weirdly designed API.

It's probably one of the aspect that leads to better performances. I'm still wondering if we can see any gain, but the more I read about AIO, the more I'm convinced we need to spend some time on a prototype to get valid numbers. In any case, would we implement a layer on top of AIO, the upper API should not be different, and that's were we have to be careful ! -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
