How does the Lmax Disruptor work?

The LMAX Disruptor is a high-performance concurrent programming library. It utilizes a ring buffer and multi-threading to efficiently handle event-driven data flows. The Disruptor is designed to minimize lock usage and optimize cache utilization, resulting in reduced memory allocation and improved system efficiency. Its key components include Sequences, Sequencer, Sequence Barrier, Wait Strategy, and Event Processors, which together facilitate fast and reliable inter-thread messaging.
