Created July 19, 2016 20:09
Runs the given block synchronized with the argument given; i.e. for the same argument the block is never run in multiple threads simultaneously, while for different arguments the block can run in parallel in multiple threads.
# synchronizes the given block, but only when called with the same argument
def synchronize_with_unique(arg, mutex, map, &block)
# get the lock for the supplied argument while increasing the refcount
lock_info = mutex.synchronize do
info = (map[arg] ||= { lock: Mutex.new, count: 0 })
info[:count] += 1

Proposal: Deduplicated storage and transfer of container images

Proposal: Deduplicated storage and transfer of container images

Docker uses layers to build containers and images on top of other images. This saves storage and transfer of layers already existing on the system. Rkt uses no layers and needs to fully download any new image.

This document proposes to use deduplication to store and transfer container images. This has multiple advantages over layering:
