# Inter-thread Communication Benchmark

This code tests the best way to collaborate between threads

## Platform tested:
- Windows (MSVC, gcc-12.2, WSL-gcc11.2, WSL-clang-14)
- macOS (clang-13, gcc-12.2)
- Linux (gcc-12.1, gcc-11.3, clang-12)
- arm64 Linux (gcc-12.1, clang-12)

## Method tested:
- C++20 std::semaphores
- Native semaphores 
- Condition Variables
- Busy waiting (spinlock) with or without delay

## Results:
```
	macOS	linux	win, msc	win, gcc
cv	6000	10000	700		26000
busy	360	300	550		300
nsmph	600	4418	6000		1200
smph	240	1000/dl	660		dl
