Abstract

Hash tries are a trie-based data structure with nearly ideal characteristics for the implementation of hash maps. Starting from a particular lock-free hash map data structure, named Lock-Free Hash Tries (LFHT), we focus on solving the problem of memory reclamation without losing the lockfreedom property. We propose an approach that explores the characteristics of the LFHT structure in order to achieve efficient memory reclamation with low and well-defined memory bounds. Experimental results show that our approach obtains better results when compared with other state-of-the-art memory reclamation methods and provides a competitive and scalable hash map implementation, if compared to lock-based implementations.
