it is called `bounded queue'. it implements the same idea, but the algorithm 
looks different.
taomp wasn't released, when i wrote all this code, so i basically learned about 
lock-free programming the hard way (reading research papers and trying to 
implement them). the ringbuffer is adapted from other open-source projects 
(linux kernel, jack, portaudio, supercollider).
