LFT-Rust

A lock-free threadpool implementation in Rust. Research oriented. We developed an interesting idea to mitigate the performance drop introduced by the use of locks in Rust. For details, please refer to our technical reports.

This project is built upon Rust 1.57.0. To build this project, please run the following command:

cargo build

To build a release version of this project, please run:

cargo build --release

We also provide some examples for better using this project, to run an example:

RUST_LOG=trace cargo run --example hello_world

Roadmap

I plan to implement the following features:

• Move common objects to a shared mod
• Better scheduling algorithms: Round-robin, weighted Round-robin.
• Multi-lane threadpool
• Load rebalancing
• Function binding: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/bind
• Lock-free channel
