Avoiding bounds checks in Rust Generate a slice instead of a Vec to support compiler optimization by making the size immutable. Perform boundary checks once outside the loop. Restrict index access using modulo operations with fixed sizes based on powers of 2. shnatsel.medium.com/how-to-avoid...

My CMU talk on using the #FDAP stack to build #InfluxDB 3.0 is up! It starts off with some intro to the problem space, but then gets into some of our database journey, how we use DataFusion, and a bit about the upcoming open source architecture: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGS4...
