About:
nsync is a C library that provides cross-platform synchronization primitives such as mutexes, condition variables, and thread pools. It is designed for high performance and low latency, making it suitable for systems programming and concurrent applications. Developed by Google, it offers a lightweight alternative to platform-specific APIs.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS)
  • Lightweight and low-latency primitives
  • Thread pool and task scheduling utilities
  • C99 API with minimal dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance concurrent C applications
  • Implementing portable thread synchronization
  • Systems programming requiring fine-grained control
Alternatives:
  • pthreads – Standard POSIX threads; nsync provides a more portable and lightweight API
  • Boost.Thread – C++ library; nsync is C-focused and lighter weight
