The term scalability with regards to this dissertation has two meanings: It means taking the best possible advantage of the provided resources (both computational and memory resources) and it also means scaling data structures in the literal sense, i.e., growing the capacity, by “rescaling” the table. Scaling well to computational resources implies constructing the fastest best per- forming algorithms and data structures. On today’s many-core machines the best performance is immediately associated with parallelism. Since CPU frequencies have stopped growing about 10-15 years ago, parallelism is the only way to take ad- vantage of growing computational resources. But for data structures in general and hash tables in particular performance is not only linked to faster computations. The most execution time is actually spent waiting for memory. Thus optimizing data structures to reduce the amount of memory accesses or to take better advantage of the memory hierarchy especially through predictable access patterns and prefetch- ing is just as important. In terms of scaling the size of hash tables we have identified three domains where scaling hash-based data structures have been lacking previously, i.e., space effi- cient growing, concurrent hash tables, and Approximate Membership Query data structures (AMQ-filter). Throughout this dissertation, we describe the problems in these areas and develop efficient solutions. We highlight three different libraries that we have developed over the course of this dissertation, each containing mul- tiple implementations that have shown throughout our testing to be among the best implementations in their respective domains. In this composition they offer a comprehensive toolbox that can be used to solve many kinds of hashing related problems or to develop individual solutions for further ones. DySECT is a library for space efficient hash tables specifically growing space effi- cient hash tables that scale with their input size. It contains the namesake DySECT data structure in addition to a number of different probing and cuckoo based im- plementations. Growt is a library for highly efficient concurrent hash tables. It contains a very fast base table and a number of extensions to adapt this table to match any purpose. All extension can be combined to create a variety of different interfaces. In our extensive experimental evaluation, each adaptation has shown to be among the best hash tables for their specific purpose. Lpqfilter is a library for concurrent approximate membership query (AMQ) data structures. It contains some original data structures, like the linear probing quotient filter, as well as some novel approaches to dynamically sized quotient filters.
