Stage 4, day 23:
I have completed my lock free futex based synchronization system. By itself, it is quite an accomplishment that I am proud of. This is definitely outside my comfort zone and something that I have never done before... I am getting a lot of satisfaction out of it...
That being said, the result is a bit disappointing. I was thinking that I was hitting the bottleneck of my system and addressing it would reduce by half the reaction time. It seems like I did an error thinking that. The last improvement gave me an improvement of 5-10 uSecs at most...
This is disappointing considering that I must have spent at least a week on this task...
I need to give the improvement some time to conclude anything. It might make a significant difference in profitability but I doubt that the speed gain is big enough for that...
I'll need to continue grinding and improve the performance but I am going to call it a day and wait until tomorrow to continue...
