AtomicBackoff

Fully qualified name: omni::graph::exec::unstable::AtomicBackoff

class AtomicBackoff

Exponential backoff pattern for waiting with a cap number of pauses.

This class implements exponential backoff, where each call to pause will cause busy waiting and increment the number of iterations for next pause call. All of this is cap with a maximum limit of pause calls after which waiting is considered long and switches to yield.

This class is useful when we expect short waits and would like to prevent yielding the compute resources for this short period of time.
