ck
A C99+ library providing concurrency primitives, safe memory reclamation mechanisms, and non-blocking data structures for high-performance concurrent systems.
What is ck?
Concurrency Kit is a C library that provides a comprehensive suite of concurrency primitives, safe memory reclamation mechanisms, and non-blocking data structures. It is designed to aid in the research, design, and implementation of high-performance concurrent systems, offering architecture-optimized components for building scalable applications.
Systems programmers, researchers, and developers working on high-performance concurrent applications in C, particularly those implementing custom lock-free data structures or requiring fine-grained synchronization primitives.
Developers choose Concurrency Kit for its extensive collection of battle-tested, architecture-specific implementations, its focus on both performance and correctness, and its role as a reference for state-of-the-art concurrency algorithms—all in a portable C99+ library.
Overview
Concurrency primitives, safe memory reclamation mechanisms and non-blocking (including lock-free) data structures designed to aid in the research, design and implementation of high performance concurrent systems developed in C99+.
