We consider the classical problem of representing a collection of priority queues under the operations \Findmin{}, \Insert{}, \Decrease{}, \Meld{}, \Delete{}, and \Deletemin{}. In the comparison-based model, if the first four operations are…

Priority queues are fundamental abstract data structures, often used to manage limited resources in parallel programming. Several proposed parallel priority queue implementations are based on skiplists, harnessing the potential for…

Designing and implementing efficient parallel priority schedulers is an active research area. An intriguing proposed design is the Multi-Queue: given $n$ threads and $m\ge n$ distinct priority queues, task insertions are performed uniformly…

The working-set bound [Sleator and Tarjan, J. ACM, 1985] roughly states that searching for an element is fast if the element was accessed recently. Binary search trees, such as splay trees, can achieve this property in the amortized sense,…

A priority queue is a fundamental data structure that maintains a dynamic set of (key, priority)-pairs and supports Insert, Delete, ExtractMin and DecreaseKey operations. In the external memory model, the current best priority queue…

With the hardware offloading of network functions, network interface cards (NICs) undertake massive stateful, high-precision, and high-throughput tasks, where timers serve as a critical enabling component. However, existing timer management…

Large-scale timers are ubiquitous in network processing, including flow table entry expiration control in software defined network (SDN) switches, MAC address aging in Ethernet bridges, and retransmission timeout management in TCP/IP…

In the particular case we have insertions/deletions at the tail of a given set S of $n$ one-dimensional elements, we present a simpler and more concrete algorithm than that presented in [Anderson, 2007] achieving the same (but also…

In traditional priority queues, we assume that every customer upon arrival has a fixed, class-dependent priority, and that a customer may not commence service if a customer with a higher priority is present in the queue. However, in…

Priority queues are data structures which store keys in an ordered fashion to allow efficient access to the minimal (maximal) key. Priority queues are essential for many applications, e.g., Dijkstra's single-source shortest path algorithm,…

This paper presents PIPQ, a strict and linearizable concurrent priority queue whose design differs from existing solutions in literature because it focuses on enabling parallelism of insert operations as opposed to accelerating delete-min…

A multiplicity queue is a concurrently-defined data type which relaxes the conditions of a linearizable FIFO queue to allow concurrent Dequeue instances to return the same value. It would seem that this should allow faster implementations,…

We consider a general class of low complexity distributed scheduling algorithms in wireless networks, maximal scheduling with priorities, where a maximal set of transmitting links in each time slot are selected according to certain…

We introduce the prioritising exclusion process, a stochastic scheduling mechanism for a priority queueing system in which high priority customers gain advantage by overtaking low priority customers. The model is analogous to a totally…

In this paper we present two versions of a parallel finger structure FS on p processors that supports searches, insertions and deletions, and has a finger at each end. This is to our knowledge the first implementation of a parallel search…

Priority queues with parallel access are an attractive data structure for applications like prioritized online scheduling, discrete event simulation, or greedy algorithms. However, a classical priority queue constitutes a severe bottleneck…

Priority queues are abstract data structures which store a set of key/value pairs and allow efficient access to the item with the minimal (maximal) key. Such queues are an important element in various areas of computer science such as…

Burke's theorem can be seen as a fixed-point result for an exponential single-server queue; when the arrival process is Poisson, the departure process has the same distribution as the arrival process. We consider extensions of this result…

We give a priority queue that achieves the same amortized bounds as Fibonacci heaps. Namely, find-min requires O(1) worst-case time, insert, meld and decrease-key require O(1) amortized time, and delete-min requires $O(\log n)$ amortized…

Recently, the problems of evaluating performances of switches and routers have been formulated as online problems, and a great amount of results have been presented. In this paper, we focus on managing outgoing packets (called {\em egress…
