nexus-id

High-performance ID generators for low-latency systems.

All generators avoid syscalls on the hot path, produce stack-allocated output, and operate entirely in registers where possible. Hex encode/decode uses SIMD acceleration (SSE2/SSSE3) on x86_64.

ID Types

Usage

Snowflake IDs

use nexus_id::{Snowflake64, SnowflakeId64, MixedId64};

// <42 timestamp bits, 6 worker bits, 16 sequence bits>
let mut generator: Snowflake64<42, 6, 16> = Snowflake64::new(5);

let id: SnowflakeId64<42, 6, 16> = generator.next_id(current_tick).unwrap();
assert_eq!(id.worker(), 5);
assert_eq!(id.sequence(), 0);

// Fibonacci mixing for identity hashers (~1 cycle, bijective)
let mixed: MixedId64<42, 6, 16> = id.mixed();
let recovered = mixed.unmix();
assert_eq!(recovered, id);

UUIDs

use nexus_id::{Uuid, UuidCompact};
use nexus_id::uuid::UuidV7;
use std::time::Instant;

let epoch = Instant::now();
let mut generator = UuidV7::new(epoch, 1_700_000_000_000, 42);

let uuid: Uuid = generator.next(Instant::now());
let compact: UuidCompact = uuid.to_compact();

// Parse from string
let parsed: Uuid = "01234567-89ab-cdef-fedc-ba9876543210".parse().unwrap();

ULIDs

use nexus_id::Ulid;
use nexus_id::ulid::UlidGenerator;
use std::time::{Instant, SystemTime, UNIX_EPOCH};

let epoch = Instant::now();
let unix_base = SystemTime::now()
    .duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH)
    .unwrap()
    .as_millis() as u64;

let mut generator = UlidGenerator::new(epoch, unix_base, 42);
let ulid: Ulid = generator.next(Instant::now());

assert_eq!(ulid.len(), 26);
assert!(ulid.timestamp_ms() >= unix_base);

TypeIDs

use nexus_id::{TypeId, Ulid};

// Type-prefixed sortable IDs (prefix + ULID suffix)
let id: TypeId<32> = TypeId::new("user", ulid).unwrap();
assert!(id.as_str().starts_with("user_"));
assert_eq!(id.prefix(), "user");

Parsing

All string ID types implement FromStr:

use nexus_id::{Uuid, UuidCompact, Ulid, HexId64, Base62Id, Base36Id};

let uuid: Uuid = "01234567-89ab-cdef-fedc-ba9876543210".parse().unwrap();
let compact: UuidCompact = "0123456789abcdeffedcba9876543210".parse().unwrap();
let hex: HexId64 = "deadbeefcafebabe".parse().unwrap();

Features

All ID types work in no_std (parsing, encoding, conversions). Generators require std for entropy.

Performance

Measured on Intel Core Ultra 7 165U, single-core pinned. All operations are allocation-free and syscall-free on the hot path.

SIMD acceleration is compile-time dispatched:

• SSE2 (x86_64 baseline): parallel hex decode
• SSSE3 (Core 2+, 2006): pshufb hex encode + UUID dash compaction

Build with native features for best performance:

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release

no_std Support

[dependencies]
nexus-id = { version = "1", default-features = false }

All types, parsing, and encoding work without std. Only generators (which need entropy) require the std feature.
