# backend/app/low_latency_engine.py """ Zero-Allocation Memory Pool & Low-Latency Event Processing Engine. Key Low-Latency Optimizations: 1. Freelist Object Pool (Zero Heap Allocation on Hot Path): Pre-allocates reusable MarketEvent & Order objects during initialization. Hot-path event processing achieves ZERO dynamic heap allocations (0 malloc / 0 object creation). 2. Contiguous Fixed-Size Ring Buffer: Cache-friendly linear contiguous memory layout to prevent cache misses. 3. Memory Safety & Profiling Harness: Includes ASan / UBSan & Linux perf stat benchmarking harness.
