        A shared memory ring buffer implementation for broadcast communication.
        Essentially, it is a queue where only one will `enqueue` and multiple
        will `dequeue`. The max size of each item, together with the max number
        of items that can be stored in the buffer are known in advance.
        In this case, we don't need to synchronize the access to
         the buffer.
        
        Buffer memory layout:
                  data                                 metadata
                    |                                      |
                    | (current_idx)                        | (current_idx)
                    v                                      v
        +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------+
        | chunk0 | chunk1 | ... | chunk | metadata0 | metadata1 | ... | metadata |
        +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------+
        | max_chunks x max_chunk_bytes  | max_chunks x (1 + n_reader) bytes      |

        metadata memory layout: each byte is a flag, the first byte is the written
        flag, and the rest are reader flags. The flags are set to 0 by default.
        +--------------+--------------+--------------+-----+--------------+
        | written_flag | reader0_flag | reader1_flag | ... | readerN_flag |
        +--------------+--------------+--------------+-----+--------------+

        The state of metadata is as follows:

        (case 1) 0???...???: the block is not written yet, cannot read, can write
        (case 2) 1000...000: the block is just written, can read, cannot write
        (case 3) 1???...???: the block is written and read by some readers, can read if not read, cannot write
        (case 4) 1111...111: the block is written and read by all readers, cannot read, can write

        State transition for readers:

        When a reader finds a block that it can read (case 2 or 3), it can yield the block for caller to read.
        Only after the caller finishes reading the block, the reader can mark the block as read.
        Readers only mark the block as read (from 0 to 1), the writer marks the block as ready to read (from 1 to 0).

        State transition for writer:

        When the writer writes to a block (case 1 or 4), it first resets the written flag to 0, converting either case
        to case 1. Then it can yield the block for caller to write. After the caller finishes writing the block, the writer
        can reset the reader flags to 0, and mark the block as written (from 0 to 1).
        NOTE: the order is important here, first reset the reader flags (so that we are still in case 1), then mark the block as written. The state transition is atomic. If we do it in the reverse order, it will go through case 3 and then back to case 2, and readers might read the intermediate case 3, which is not correct.

        During creation, `name` is None and the buffer is created. We can pass the
        created object to other processes by pickling it. The other processes will
        get the name of the shared memory and open it, so that they can access the
        same shared memory buffer.
