neutralbuffered
Neutralbuffered is a buffering approach in data processing systems designed to decouple producers and consumers while preserving data integrity and timing neutrality. A neutralbuffered buffer stores data units and presents them to consumers without imposing bias toward producers or consumers, and without altering the data content or timing beyond necessary queuing.
Key characteristics include preserved ordering within streams, avoidance of data reordering for fairness, bounded memory usage,
It typically guarantees in-order delivery for each stream, supports multiple producers and consumers, and allows configurable
Common contexts include message queues, event streams, multimedia pipelines, and real-time analytics, where decoupling throughput and
Neutralbuffered differs from simple unbuffered or naive buffering by explicitly seeking neutrality with respect to data
