As mentioned, something like it already exists inside Linux. Maybe it could be pulled out and turned into an app library, if it's so much better than a heap queue. Info: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=timer+wheel+linux https://duckduckgo.com/?q=timer+wheel+linux I remember writing a heap queue in C++ myself because std::priority_queue had some kind of shortcoming whose specifics I don't remember. Maybe I can find that program and check what it wanted. It wasn't a performance issue, but rather, something I needed was missing from the stdlib API and I remember thinking that it was silly that they omitted it.
