libfork
A lock-free, wait-free, continuation-stealing tasking library for C++20 built on coroutines, enabling ultra-fine-grained parallelism.
What is libfork?
libfork is a C++20 tasking library that implements strict fork-join parallelism using coroutines. It provides a lock-free, wait-free, continuation-stealing runtime for writing highly concurrent tasks with minimal overhead. The library solves the problem of achieving fine-grained parallelism in C++ without relying on traditional threading primitives.
C++ developers building high-performance parallel applications, such as numerical computing, simulation, or game engines, who need efficient task scheduling with low overhead.
Developers choose libfork for its ultra-low task spawning overhead, NUMA-aware schedulers, and strict fork-join model that ensures safety and scalability. It outperforms libraries like OneTBB, OpenMP, and TaskFlow in both speed and memory efficiency.
