We're happy to release version 5.5.3 of Hamsters.js, this release builds upon the newly introduced support for Atomic Operations in version 5.5.3 , this is an additional performance optimization that eliminates the overhead of passing the sharedArray to each thread.

In testing this resulted in a performance improvement of between 3.15% to 8.63% , depending on the number of threads being used.

Tested running the Atomic Operations Example with a million integers, comparing v5.5.3 to v5.5.4 using an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 64-bit test machine with a Core i5-8300H 2.3ghz 4 cores 8 threads, 16GB DDR4 2400mhz dual channel.

Additionally the README and Hamsters.js Wiki have been updated with new information on making use of Atomics!

Hamsters.js supports  even faster Atomic Operations
