protier
Protier is a lightweight, open‑source priority queue library written in Python and Rust. It was first released in 2018 by the developer consortium OpenPriority, and its goal is to offer a deterministic, lock‑free data structure for concurrent environments. The core of Protier is a binary heap implementation that supports both static and dynamic priorities and can be extended with custom comparator functions. The Rust implementation targets embedded and IoT devices, whereas the Python version is frequently used in data‑processing pipelines and machine‑learning training loops.
The library exposes a simple API: `push(item, priority)`, `pop()`, and `peek()` methods for accessing the highest‑priority
Protier is integrated into several open‑source projects. In the AI‑DevKit suite it manages token‑generation jobs, while
