Disruptor Pattern: SPSC Ring Buffer

Hard · concurrency · Quant Developer interview question · concurrency, lock-free, design-pattern, cpp

The Disruptor pattern is a high-performance inter-thread messaging mechanism widely used in low-latency financial systems, such as order matching engines, to minimize jitter and maximize throughput. It utilizes a pre-allocated ring buffer with sequence barriers to coordinate data exchange between producers and consumers without the overhead of mutual exclusion locks. Task Implement the SpscRingBuffer class to facilitate lock-free communication between a single producer thread and a single consu
