Orbit is a single-header lock-free MPMC bounded queue, designed from first principles and tuned to get the most out of modern hardware. In my benchmarks, it consistently outperforms other implementations like
atomic_queue, moodycamel::concurrent_queue or xenium::ramalhete_queue on both x86 and ARM, often by a significant margin.## Key features
- Cross-platform: Support for x86/ARM, GCC/Clang/MSVC
- Supports any default-constructible type, not just atomics, with move semantics for non-trivially-copyable types
- Configurable to optimise for either latency or throughput
- Simple and versatile interface
- Easily tunable spin pause lengths for different platforms
I wrote a technical blog post covering the implementation details and optimisation process if you are interested.
