    I played around with the original (Java) LMAX disruptor which was an interesting and different way to achieve latency/throughput. Here's some info on it[0] and a referenced Martin Fowler post[1].

    Nice. The per element atomic locks rather than per collection is a neat optimization I wouldn't have thought of! After a decade+ of LMax Disruptor being a well publicized multicast circular queue. https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/
  • Gnet is the fastest networking framework in Go

    https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/#_what_is_the_disr.... Unfortunately IIUC writing this in Go still prevents the spin-locked acceptor thread from achieving the kind of performance you could get in a non-GC language, unless you chose to disable GC, so I'd guess Envoy is still faster.

    https://gnet.host/docs/quickstart/ it's nice that you can use this simply though. Envoy is kind of tricky to setup with custom filters, so most of the time it's just a standalone binary.

    LMAX Disruptor has on their wiki that average latency to send a message from one thread to another at 53 nanoseconds. For comparison a mutex is like 25 nanoseconds and more if Contended but a mutex is point to point synchronization.

    The great thing about it is that multiple threads can receive the same message without much more effort.

    I am dreaming of language that is similar to Smalltalk that stays single threaded until it makes sense to parallise.

    I am looking for problems to parallelism that are not big data. Parallelism is like adding more cars to the road rather than increasing the speed of the car. But what does a desktop or mobile user need to do locally that could take advantage of the mathematical power of a computer? I'm still searching.
