Data Buffering Pipeline Architecture Arena

Evaluating high-frequency (1,280 Hz) telemetry ingestion pipelines under intense processing engine drops.
● ENGINE NOMINAL

1. Your 3-Slot Asynchronous

Lock-free A-B-C circular configuration. The kernel overwrites the oldest inactive register via atomic pointers. Completely non-blocking.
THREAD ISOLATED (ALIVE)
Real Input Age0.00 ms
Session Average0.00 ms
Peak Hitch Spike0.00 ms

2. Blocking Double-Buffer

Classic Mutex-locked dual exchange. When the renderer is busy or stalls, it holds the lock. The 1,280 Hz kernel thread physically stalls waiting to write.

3. FIFO Accumulation Queue

Linear event array queue. Captures all ticks sequentially. When a frame drops, messages pile up; the engine experiences cascading catch-up lag.
