Crossbeam Utils

This crate provides miscellaneous tools for concurrent programming:

Atomics

• AtomicCell, a thread-safe mutable memory location.(no_std)
• AtomicConsume, for reading from primitive atomic types with "consume" ordering.(no_std)

Thread synchronization

• Parker, a thread parking primitive.
• ShardedLock, a sharded reader-writer lock with fast concurrent reads.
• WaitGroup, for synchronizing the beginning or end of some computation.

Utilities

• Backoff, for exponential backoff in spin loops.(no_std)
• CachePadded, for padding and aligning a value to the length of a cache line.(no_std)
• scope, for spawning threads that borrow local variables from the stack.

*Features marked with (no_std) can be used in no_std environments.*
