Google’s data center kernel is carefully performance tuned for their workloads. This task is carried out by a team of over 100 engineers, and for each new kernel, the effort can also take 6-18 months.”. A micro-benchmark suite, LEBench was then built around tee system calls responsible for most of the time spent in the kernel.
