Abstract
An improved transmission system that utilizes a shared buffer accessible by multiple threads, processes, or other discrete systems of different producing speeds is disclosed which limits transmission bottlenecks which occur when producers write data at different speeds. The system reserves portions of the shared buffer for each of the different producers, and allows the producers to write to the shared buffer asynchronously—even if the shared buffer is read from serially. This allows a fast producer to write its data to the shared buffer without needing to wait “in line” for slower producers.
