Abstract

This paper presents an efficient wait-free resizable hash table. To achieve high throughput at large core counts, our algorithm is specifically designed to retain the natural parallelism of concurrent hashing, while providing wait-free resizing. An extensive evaluation of our hash table shows that in the common case where resizing actions are rare, our implementation outperforms all existing lock-free hash table implementations while providing a stronger progress guarantee.
