In many details, Rust is even more respecting of maximum performance goals. A Box<dyn T> is two pointers, so you save on an indirection when dispatching calls dynamically.

Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) is a powerful verification technique and now with 10 months into doing it, I think I have better answers to how it fits the overall verification process. 1/

Sarah Catanzaro Firebolt TU MĂĽnchen Fun Fact: During a CIDR 2024 talk, DuckDB announced they just reached #1 on ClickBench. Thomas was sitting in the audience with a PR containing new Umbra results that put him back at #1. He waited until the talk was over and then immediately pushed the PR. Cutthroat AF.

Zaid Humayun v Debasish (দেবাশিস্) Ghosh 🇮🇳 I think it’s even simpler. PBT is the formalism, DST is a specific execution model with some properties that make it very useful. That’s why I don’t like to call the work I do on the Turso simulator DST, because I’m specifically working on the PBT part, not fault injection.
