I evaluate the ATAC broadcast mechanism as the foundation for a new paradigm in the design of highly scalable concurrent data structures. Shared memory communication is replaced, alleviating the contention that prevents data structures from achieving high performance on the next generation of manycore computers. The alternative model utilizes thread local memory and relies on the ATAC broadcast for inter-core communication, thus avoiding the complicated protocols that contemporary data structures use to mitigate contention. I explain the design of the ATAC barrier and run benchmarking to validate its high performance relative to existing barriers. I explore several concurrent hash map designs built using the ATAC paradigm and evaluate their performance, explaining the memory access patterns under which they achieve scalability.

In particular, we show that these data objects can implement set- consensus efficiently, though they may not be able to implement the similar problem consensus as efficiently. This enables us, in turn, to measure the time complexity of these concurrent data objects. In obtaining our lower bounds, we use some interesting combinatorial techniques."

Although there are many advanced and specialized texts and handbooks on algorithms, until now there was no book that focused exclusively on the wide variety of data structures that have been reported in the literature. The Handbook of Data Structures and Applications responds to the needs of students, professionals, and researchers who need a mainstream reference on data structures by providing a comprehensive survey of data structures of various types. Divided into seven parts, the text begins with a review of introductory material, followed by a discussion of well-known classes of data structures, Priority Queues, Dictionary Structures, and Multidimensional structures. The editors next analyze miscellaneous data structures, which are well-known structures that elude easy classification. The book then addresses mechanisms and tools that were developed to facilitate the use of data structures in real programs. It concludes with an examination of the applications of data structures. The Handbook is invaluable in suggesting new ideas for research in data structures, and for revealing application contexts in which they can be deployed. Practitioners devising algorithms will gain insight into organizing data, allowing them to solve algorithmic problems more efficiently.
