About This Talk

In this lightning talk, we take a look at ArcShift, a lock-free data structure for shared data that still needs to be mutated.

While the standard library's Arc<RwLock<T>> allows multiple threads to access and modify the same object, even read-accesses require somewhat expensive atomic operations.

ArcShift allows multiple writers without penalizing readers, and give examples on how (and how not to) write lock-free data structures. We'll also dive into how ArcShift handles the memory reclamation problem (or cheats its way out of it).
