takeaway: High-performance task queues
takeaway is a Rust library providing a high-performance, work-stealing task
queue data structure. It is perfect for task architectures where:
- There may be thousands of tasks ready to run at any time.
- Tasks are small, synchronous, and CPU-bound.
- It is important to execute higher-priority tasks first.
- All available CPUs should be used to maximum capacity.
- (Optional) Tasks can be executed more efficiently in batches.
takeaway was developed for krabby, an experimental Rust compiler, due to
the limitations of crossbeam-deque (in particular, its overhead and the lack
of task prioritization functionality). It is offered as a separate crate in the
hope that others may find it useful for parallelized CPU-intensive applications.
