Abstract: Hash Tables are important data structures for a wide range of data intensive applications in various domains. They offer compact storage for sparse data, but their performance has ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew Krapivin, an undergraduate at Rutgers University, encountered a paper that would change his life.

After looking at the recent GoLang update for curiosity, I noticed one standout item. GoLang now uses Swiss Tables for mapping. I'd not heard of this algorithm, so it took a bit of searching to come ...

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew ...

Add a description, image, and links to the linear-hashing topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Linear Hashing is an algorithm employed in database systems to dynamically allocate memory disk blocks on secondary memory and store the incoming record in a constant ...

Abstract: We consider portable software implementations of hash tables with timeouts. The context is a high volume stream of keyed items. When a new item arrives, we want to know if has been seen ...
