Install: brew install libcds

About:
Libcds is a C++ template library offering a comprehensive collection of concurrent data structures and algorithms. It provides lock-free and lock-based containers designed for high-performance multi-threaded applications, helping developers avoid common concurrency pitfalls. The library includes structures like queues, stacks, maps, and trees optimized for modern hardware.

Key Features:

Lock-free and fine-grained lock containers
Memory management support (Hazard Pointers, epoch-based)
Wide range of data structures (queues, maps, trees, lists)
Generic design compatible with custom allocators
Supports memory model for major compilers

Use Cases:

High-frequency trading systems requiring low-latency data processing
Real-time analytics platforms processing concurrent data streams
Multi-threaded server applications managing shared state
High-performance computing (HPC) workloads

Alternatives:

Intel TBB – TBB provides a broader framework for parallel programming, while Libcds focuses specifically on concurrent data structures.
Boost.Lockfree – Boost.Lockfree offers a smaller, focused set of lock-free containers, whereas Libcds provides a more extensive and configurable library.
