Backoff & Memory Provisioning: Adaptive Spinning, Custom Allocators, NUMA & Huge Pages
Two resources a lock-free ring buffer takes for granted: time and memory. Adaptive backoff for waiting well, and a pluggable allocator trait for NUMA placement and huge pages.
Compile-Time Leverage: Specialization, Branch & Arithmetic Hygiene, and Inlining
How const generics, zero-sized types, branch and arithmetic hygiene, and disciplined inlining hand the Rust compiler enough compile-time facts to make sizes immediate, unused features free, and redundant checks disappear in a lock-free SPSC ring buffer.
Zero-Copy on the Hot Path: Reserve/Commit and Fast-Path/Slow-Path Splitting
How a reserve/commit protocol eliminates per-item copies in a lock-free SPSC ring buffer, and how fast-path/slow-path splitting keeps the common case branch-predictable.
Amortizing Cross-Core Coordination: Cursor Caching and Batch Processing
How cursor caching and batch processing amortize the cost of cross-core coordination in a lock-free SPSC ring buffer, so cores touch shared atomics a fraction as often.
The Cross-Core Contract: Memory Ordering and Single-Writer State in Lock-Free Rust
How Release/Acquire ordering, Relaxed counters, and single-writer UnsafeCell state make lock-free Rust ring buffers correct and efficient.
