WLTurbo - High-Performance Wayland Client for Go

🚀 Ultra-fast, zero-allocation Wayland client library optimized for gaming and real-time applications

Features

🎯 Sub-microsecond latency - < 500ns input event processing
⚡ Zero-allocation hot paths - No GC pressure during event handling
🎮 Gaming optimized - 360-500+ FPS support, 8000Hz device compatibility
🔒 Lock-free architecture - MPSC queues and atomic operations
🏎️ SIMD optimizations - Vectorized batch operations
📊 Cache-friendly - 64-byte aligned data structures
🔧 Go 1.24 ready - Leverages latest performance features

Performance Targets

Metric	Target	Description
Input Latency	< 125μs	Input-to-dispatch (8000Hz polling rate)
Event Dispatch	< 50ns	Per-event processing time
Allocations	0	Zero allocations in steady state
GC Pause	< 10μs	Maximum garbage collection pause
Throughput	16,000+	Events per second capacity

Gaming Hardware Support

8000Hz Mice: Razer Viper 8K, Corsair Sabre RGB Pro
8000Hz Keyboards: Wooting 80HE with true analog scanning
High-refresh displays: ASUS ROG Swift 500Hz, BenQ Zowie XL2566K
VRR/G-Sync: Variable refresh rate awareness

Quick Start

package main

import (
    "github.com/bnema/wlturbo"
)

func main() {
    // Connect to Wayland display
    display, err := wlturbo.Connect("")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer display.Close()

    // Ultra-low latency event loop
    for {
        if err := display.Dispatch(); err != nil {
            break
        }
    }
}

Architecture

WLTurbo is built with gaming performance in mind:

Lock-free Event Queue: MPSC ring buffer for zero-contention event handling
Object Pool: Pre-allocated event objects to eliminate malloc overhead
Direct Dispatch: Array-based handler lookup for objects < 1024
Batch Processing: Process multiple events per syscall
Memory Pool: Size-classed allocators for temporary buffers
