Fast Snapshottable Concurrent Braun Heaps
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
This paper proposes a new concurrent heap algorithm, based on a stateless shape property, which efficiently maintains balance during insert and removeMin operations implemented with hand-over-hand locking ...
The simplicity of the algorithm allows it to be easily proven correct, and the choice of shape property provides priority queue performance which is competitive with highly optimized skiplist implementations ...
Serial priority queues are typically implemented as either a heap or a skiplist, and heaps have stronger guarantees of efficiency. ...

Such queues are an important element in various areas of computer science such as algorithmics (i.e. Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm) and operating system (i.e. priority schedulers). ...
Concurrent priority queues have been extensively researched over the past decades. ...
In this paper, we have outlined the evolution of concurrent priority queues from initial heap-based designs, through a period of increasingly efficient SkipList queues, to current research into relaxed ...

Flat combining and the synchronization-parallelism tradeoff
2010
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architectures - SPAA '10
For an ordered index hosting billions of keys, it may take more than 30 key-comparisons in a lookup, which is an order of magnitude more expensive than that on a hash table. ...
Wormhole's range operations can be performed by a linear scan of a list after an initial lookup. This improvement of access efficiency does not come at a price of compromised space efficiency. ...
