# Releasing: GoQueueBench


As i coded on [OuroborosDB](https://github.com/i5heu/ouroboros-db) i noticed that i need a very fast queue for a rather unique architectural design decision.  
I try to build the network module in such a way that i can test the behavior completely deterministic while "simulating" entire clusters in a single process.  

So i build a test prototype of my global network queue with go's channels and noticed that it was a major performance bottleneck, after writing 2 different ring buffer queue implementations it became clear that some queues behave completely different under different congestion levels and core counts - some so unpredictable that i just did not wanted to use them in my project.  

This prompted me to take a relatively large chunk out of my free time and write a suite to benchmark different queue implementations i build under different conditions and score them based on their performance and predictability.

The result of this work is [GoQueueBench](https://github.com/i5heu/GoQueueBench)

These are the results of the benchmark suite:

| Implementation              | Overall Score | Throughput Light Load | Throughput Heavy Load | Throughput Average | Stability Ratio | Homogeneity Factor | Uncertainty | Total Tests |

Please note that i build the package so that all queue adhere to the same interface and can be swapped out easily.
