Dietzfelbinger and Weidling [DW07] proposed a natural variation of cuckoo hashing where each of $cn$ objects is assigned $k = 2$ intervals of size $\ell$ in a linear (or cyclic) hash table of size $n$ and both start points are chosen…
Cuckoo hashing guarantees constant-time lookups regardless of table density, making it a viable candidate for high-density tables. Cuckoo hashing insertions perform poorly at high table densities, however. In this paper, we mitigate this…
We show how to answer spatial multiple-set intersection queries in O(n(log w)/w + kt) expected time, where n is the total size of the t sets involved in the query, w is the number of bits in a memory word, k is the output size, and c is any…
This paper is motivated by two applications, namely i) generalizations of cuckoo hashing, a computationally simple approach to assigning keys to objects, and ii) load balancing in content distribution networks, where one is interested in…
An important function in modern routers and switches is to perform a lookup for a key. Hash-based methods, and in particular cuckoo hash tables, are popular for such lookup operations, but for large structures stored in off-chip memory,…
Consistent hashing is a technique that can minimize key remapping when the number of hash buckets changes. The paper proposes a fast consistent hash algorithm (called power consistent hash) that has $O(1)$ expected time for key lookup,…
We settle the question of tight thresholds for offline cuckoo hashing. The problem can be stated as follows: we have n keys to be hashed into m buckets each capable of holding a single key. Each key has k >= 3 (distinct) associated buckets…
Due to its low storage cost and fast query speed, hashing has been widely used in large-scale image retrieval tasks. Hash bucket search returns data points within a given Hamming radius to each query, which can enable search at a constant…
Cuckoo Hashing is a hashing scheme invented by Pagh and Rodler. It uses $d\geq 2$ distinct hash functions to insert items into the hash table. It has been an open question for some time as to the expected time for Random Walk Insertion to…
This paper introduces CuCoTrack, a cuckoo hash based data structure designed to efficiently implement connection tracking. The proposed scheme exploits the fact that queries always match one existing connection to compress the 5-tuple that…
Coalescing RDMA and Persistent Memory (PM) delivers high end-to-end performance for networked storage systems, which requires rethinking the design of efficient hash structures. In general, existing hashing schemes separately optimize RDMA…
A Perfect Hash Function (PHF) is a hash function that has no collisions on a given input set. PHFs can be used for space efficient storage of data in an array, or for determining a compact representative of each object in the set. In this…
Set synchronization is a fundamental task in distributed applications and implementations. Existing methods that synchronize simple sets are mainly based on compact data structures such as Bloom filter and its variants. However, these…
Caching (also known as paging) is a classical problem concerning page replacement policies in two-level memory systems. General caching is the variant with pages of different sizes and fault costs. We give the first NP-hardness result for…
We present the Cuckoo Trie, a fast, memory-efficient ordered index structure. The Cuckoo Trie is designed to have memory-level parallelism -- which a modern out-of-order processor can exploit to execute DRAM accesses in parallel -- without…
Cuckoo hashing is a highly practical dynamic dictionary: it provides amortized constant insertion time, worst case constant deletion time and lookup time, and good memory utilization. However, with a noticeable probability during the…
In this work, we aim to study when learned models are better hash functions, particular for hash-maps. We use lightweight piece-wise linear models to replace the hash functions as they have small inference times and are sufficiently general…
Many data structures support dictionaries, also known as maps or associative arrays, which store and manage a set of key-value pairs. A \emph{multimap} is generalization that allows multiple values to be associated with the same key. For…
In the first part of this survey, we review how the power of two choices underlies space-efficient data structures like cuckoo hash tables. We'll find that the additional power afforded by more than 2 choices is often outweighed by the…
Because of unmatched improvements in CPU performance, memory transfers have become a bottleneck of program execution. As discovered in recent years, this also affects sorting in internal memory. Since partitioning around several pivots…
