UDP Network Writer Challenge

[Challenge Status: Inactive-for-hiring]

Introduction

This is a hiring challenge for the intern role for the media (WebRTC) team at Dyte. The goal of this challenge is to write a UDP network writer that performs significantly better than the baseline implementation.

Challenge Description

Download challenge files here

In the benchs_test.go file, you will find a benchmark test that measures the performance of the UDP network writer. Your task is to improve the performance of the writer so that it is at least 2 times faster than the baseline implementation.

Getting Started

To run the benchmark test, use the following command:

go test -benchmem -bench BenchmarkConnections

Submission

To submit your solution, please submit your solution to ashish@dyte.io CCing rishika@dyte.io . Make sure to include a description of your solution and any trade-offs you made.

Evaluation

The golang benchmark test logs are of the following structure:

BenchmarkConnections-8   	<number of iterations per second>	       <time for processing each iteration> ns/op    <bytes allocated per iteration> B/op   <number of allocations per iteration> allocs/op

Your solution will be evaluated based on the following criteria (in this order):

  • Number of terations per second
  • Time for processing each iteration
  • Code quality, E.g. readability, maintainability, and performance
  • Explanation of the solution and trade-offs
  • Bytes allocated per iteration
  • Number of allocations per iteration
