This Blog Has Moved!

Right, so yes, five years ago I moved to github pages, and never bothered to redirect any of these pages there. Now I've moved on from there, and... Finally I am using my real domain, trishagee.com . My blog is now at trishagee.com/blog .  See you there!

What I Did On My Holidays

And now, a post for my long-neglected, less technical readers.

I took a week off in July to try and avoid that Oh My God I Missed Summer Again feeling. Granted, it's easy to get that in the UK even if you're not stuck in an office the entire time.

Really this is just an excuse to post some photos on the blog.

Monday
Hopped on the bike and explored from Kensington to Westminster.

Felt distinctly smug when I grabbed my lunch from Victoria amongst all the less fortunate people who had to go back to their offices.
Tuesday
Decided to dose up on Culture, and went to the National Gallery.  Last time I was there I was eight years old, and I distinctly remember admiring the frames more than the art.

The rather marvellous Artfinder makes up for the fact that you can't take photos inside the gallery - I can share most of the pieces that struck me when I was there.

Wednesday
Finally got around to embarking on one of the walks in Secret London.  I chose to do the City, from St Paul's, covering Bank, Monument and Liverpool St.

It was fascinating. I've worked in a lot of places round there, socialise there regularly, and have explored a number of the nooks and crannies.  But I was astounded at how many places I had never seen, alleys I had no idea existed, and gardens hidden away between modern office blocks.

Highly recommended.


Thursday
My parents dropped by and I racked my brain for a different way to explore this massive, old city.  And it came to me: using the artery of the city - the river.  So we took a boat to Greenwich.

Where they were filming Batman.

And I didn't know until after we'd left.

Gutted.

Friday
The sun finally makes an appearance. I was going to write a blog post, but I refuse to be indoors on a sunny day if I can get outside for some Vitamin D production (and I hadn't bought my new shiny then).

Sat in the park, sunbathed.

Brilliant day.

Brilliant week.

Dissecting the Disruptor: What's so special about a ring buffer?

Image
Recently we open sourced the LMAX Disruptor , the key to what makes our exchange so fast.  Why did we open source it?  Well, we've realised that conventional wisdom around high performance programming is... a bit wrong. We've come up with a better, faster way to share data between threads, and it would be selfish not to share it with the world.  Plus it makes us look dead clever. On the site you can download a technical article explaining what the Disruptor is and why it's so clever and fast.  I even get a writing credit on it, which is gratifying when all I really did is insert commas and re-phrase sentences I didn't understand. However I find the whole thing a bit much to digest all at once, so I'm going to explain it in smaller pieces, as suits my  NADD audience. First up - the ring buffer.  Initially I was under the impression the Disruptor was just the ring buffer.  But I've come to realise that while this data structure is at the heart of the patte

Dissecting the Disruptor: Writing to the ring buffer

Image
This is the missing piece in the end-to-end view of the Disruptor.  Brace yourselves, it's quite long.  But I decided to keep it in a single blog so you could have the context in one place. The important areas are: not wrapping the ring; informing the consumers; batching for producers; and how multiple producers work. ProducerBarriers The Disruptor code has interfaces and helper classes for the Consumer s, but there's no interface for your producer, the thing that writes to the ring buffer.  That's because nothing else needs to access your producer, only you need to know about it.  However, like the consuming side, a ProducerBarrier is created by the ring buffer and your producer will use this to write to it. Writing to the ring buffer involves a two-phase commit.  First, your producer has to claim the next slot on the buffer.  Then, when the producer has finished writing to the slot, it will call commit on the ProducerBarrier . So let's look at the first bi

Dissecting the Disruptor: Why it's so fast (part one) - Locks Are Bad

Image
Martin Fowler has written a really good article describing not only the Disruptor , but also how it fits into the architecture at LMAX .  This gives some of the context that has been missing so far, but the most frequently asked question is still "What is the Disruptor?". I'm working up to answering that.  I'm currently on question number two: "Why is it so fast?". These questions do go hand in hand, however, because I can't talk about why it's fast without saying what it does, and I can't talk about what it is without saying why it is that way. So I'm trapped in a circular dependency.  A circular dependency of blogging. To break the dependency, I'm going to answer question one with the simplest answer, and with any luck I'll come back to it in a later post if it still needs explanation: the Disruptor is a way to pass information between threads. As a developer, already my alarm bells are going off because the word "th
