Abstract
Techniques are provided in which a ring buffer comprises multiple slots for a queued sequence of data items. New data items are sequentially added to the queued sequence and sequentially removed for further processing. A base record comprises a reference indicator, wherein a value of the reference indicator is indicative of a current slot of the multiple slots of the ring buffer. A pending update record is provided comprising a subject slot indicator, an update slot indicator, and a next update pointer for pointing to another pending update record. The base record further comprises a pending update record pointer. When there is an update to be applied to the value of the reference indicator of the base record, but the update is out-of-order, i.e. references a different slot to the current slot, a new pending update record is generated indicative of the update. Techniques for allocating and releasing elements in an array shared by multiple threads are also disclosed.
