The perf benchmark uses a 1 millisecond timer to interfere with the serializing process. However, the original benchmark used
cast(Integer.class)which just simply throws an error on a long value thus terminating the whole serialization process almost immediately. What gets measured is how fast can the whole process restarted to fail again.With the fix, I get the following numbers:
Clearly, the serializedTwoStreamsSlightlyContended() shows that under a second, you can serialize two 1 millisecond sources.
For comparison with my latest endeavors, the custom WriterReaderPhaser + AtomicResizableArray + Fast-path queue drain with front check produces the following values:
(Mode: thrpt, Samples: 5)
A specialized two-way only striped custom WriterReaderPhaser produces these:
I'm not quite sure why
serializedTwoStreamsOneFastOneSlowis so low in my versions. My guess is that since they are lock-free, the timer's thread ends up shoveling the events more frequently than in the synchronized case (because it can sleep).
