Feature #3620
Updated by nahi (Hiroshi Nakamura) over 12 years ago
=begin Queue, SizedQueue and ConditionVariable are important synchronization primitives and are nowadays implemented in Ruby. Attached patch (initiated by myself and heavily enriched by Nobu) contains these sync primitives implemented in C, which makes them faster (see [1] for the benchmark's code): Rehearsal ------------------------------------------------- Q#push 1.590000 0.010000 1.600000 ( 1.605502) T#push 0.600000 0.010000 0.610000 ( 0.630444) Q#pop 4.390000 0.000000 4.390000 ( 4.389781) T#pop 0.580000 0.000000 0.580000 ( 0.578918) Q#empty? 0.480000 0.000000 0.480000 ( 0.484305) T#empty? 0.360000 0.000000 0.360000 ( 0.358559) Q#clear 1.210000 0.000000 1.210000 ( 1.214494) T#clear 0.600000 0.000000 0.600000 ( 0.588611) Q#size 0.370000 0.000000 0.370000 ( 0.365587) T#size 0.350000 0.000000 0.350000 ( 0.356985) Q#num_waiting 0.380000 0.000000 0.380000 ( 0.379199) T#num_waiting 0.370000 0.000000 0.370000 ( 0.368075) --------------------------------------- total: 11.300000sec It has already been discussed on ruby-core (see ruby-core:31100).
