# MCE::Channel::SimpleFast(3pm)

Fast channel tuned for one producer and one consumer

## NAME

MCE::Channel::SimpleFast - Fast channel tuned for one producer and one consumer

## VERSION

This document describes MCE::Channel::SimpleFast version 1.901

## DESCRIPTION

A channel class providing queue-like and two-way communication for one process or thread on either end; no locking needed.

This is similar to MCE::Channel::Simple but optimized for non-Unicode strings only. The main difference is that this module lacks freeze-thaw serialization. Non-string arguments become stringified; i.e. numbers and undef.

The API is described in MCE::Channel with the sole difference being `"send"` and `"send2"` handle one argument.

Current module available since MCE 1.877.

- new
