Crossfire-rs: High-Performance Lockless Channels for Rust with Async Support
By
0x1997
Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
Crossfire-rs is a high-performance lockless channel implementation for Rust that supports SPSC, MPSC, and MPMC patterns. It derives from Crossbeam with improvements, supports async contexts, and bridges async and blocking contexts. The library outperforms other async-capable channels due to its lockless design and lighter notification mechanism, though it relies on spinning and yielding algorithms.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledHigh-performance lockless spsc/mpsc/mpmc channels, algorithm derives crossbeam with improvements.
It supports async contexts and bridges the gap between async and blocking contexts.
Being a lockless channel, crossfire outperforms other async-capable channels.
And thanks to a lighter notification mechanism, in a blocking context, most cases are even better than the original crossbeam-channel.
Also, being a lockless channel, the algorithm relies on spinning and yielding.
