Overview
This is a simple actor implementation (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model).
Actor is implemented as a single thread with single producer/consumer queue as input. You can think of it as a single thread threadpool
If you need concurrency, consider allocating more than one actor.
Thread safety
There is two ways to ensure thread safety between two actors
- Use core affinity to set both actor to run on the same core.
- Use data separation, like in testcase thread_safety_with_actor_specific_data
