Disruptor is the highest performing intra-thread transfer mechanism available in Java. Conversant Disruptor is the highest performing implementation of this type of ring buffer because it has almost no overhead and it exploits a particularly simple design.

Conversant Disruptor was designed to run on Intel Xeon hardware. For any other platform or architecture always benchmark before using.
