Fast native fibers for OCaml

Primary LanguageC

camlfiber

Fast native fibers for OCaml.

Fibers are implemented by tying together libcoro and OCaml's GC hooks. This design allows allocation free context switches with decent performance. For example, i7-8750H running Linux can perform about 13.7M fiber context switches per second. If you want to measure it by yourself just run make bench from the source directory.
