Multiqueue

The multiqueue is a concurrent, relaxed priority queue. The idea is that internally there are c*p priority queues, where p is the number of threads and c is a tuning parameter. Elements are inserted into a random queue while deletions delete the minimum of two random queues.

Usage

Clone the repository with

git clone https://github.com/marvinwilliams/multiqueue

You have two options on how to use this library

(a) Install

Then you can either build and install with

cmake -B build
cmake --build build
cmake --install build --prefix <prefix>

and include it in your cmake project with

find_package(multiqueue)
target_link_libaries(target PRIVATE multiqueue::multiqueue)

(b) Subdirectory

Copy the project into your source tree and include it as a subdirectory in cmake

add_subdirectory(multiqueue)
target_link_libraries(target PRIVATE multiqueue::multiqueue)

Remarks

The implementation is subject of experimantation and thus has more customization points than practically desireable.
