Using AI technology to optimize the Linux kernel, ByteDance achieved a 30% reduction in memory usage

Recently, according to foreign media zdnet, Bytedance introduced the results they have achieved by using artificial intelligence to optimize the Linux kernel when participating in the Linux Plumbers Conference, which allowed engineers to achieve "significant improvements" and " Liberating Human Engineers"

Bytedance claims that manually tuning the Linux kernel to achieve different optimizations for "hundreds" of different workloads is "almost impossible" in the massive data centers the company uses, so the company Decided to use AI to optimize the Linux kernel.

ByteDance claims that they use machine learning algorithms such as Bayesian optimization and use AI to reduce the memory usage of the Linux kernel by 30% and also reduce the HTTP network delay on the NGINX server by 12%, claiming to be able to "defeat Most Linux Kernel Engineers".

Bytedance believes that AI-based Linux kernel optimization can help balance CPU usage, use cache more efficiently, and even detect various vulnerabilities in the kernel.

However, IT House noticed that the relevant team of ByteDance also claimed that machine learning and artificial intelligence have not yet reached the point of omnipotence, and it is expected that it will take some time to replace Linux kernel engineers

The above is the detailed content of Using AI technology to optimize the Linux kernel, ByteDance achieved a 30% reduction in memory usage. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
