hi all,
i would like to submit a small library of lock-free data structures for
review.
boost.lockfree provides implementations of lock-free data structures.
lock-free data structures can be accessed by multiple threads without
the necessity of blocking synchronization primitives such as guards.
lock-free data structures can be used in real-time systems, where
blocking algorithms may lead to high worst-case execution times, to
avoid priority inversion, or to increase the scalability for
multi-processor machines.
boost.lockfree provides:
* boost::lockfree::fifo, a lock-free fifo queue
* boost::lockfree::stack, a lock-free stack
the code is available from the boost vault:
http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=boost_lockfree-170809.zip&directory=Concurrent%20Programming&
and from my personal git repository:
git://tim.klingt.org/boost_lockfree.git
http://tim.klingt.org/git?p=boost_lockfree.git
the documentation is available at:
http://tim.klingt.org/boost_lockfree/
thanks in advance,
tim
