Abstract: The linear-probing hash table is one of the oldest and most widely used data structures in computer science. However, linear probing famously comes with a major draw-back: as soon as the ...

Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries. Invented in 1953, they underly most computational systems. Yet despite their ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew Krapivin, an undergraduate at Rutgers University, encountered a paper that would change his life.

Warner Bros. Discovery is reeling from the decline of traditional TV. The network conglomerate reported $39.3 billion at the end of last year, a 4% dip compared to 2023. Ad revenue dropped 7% last ...

After looking at the recent GoLang update for curiosity, I noticed one standout item. GoLang now uses Swiss Tables for mapping. I'd not heard of this algorithm, so it took a bit of searching to come ...

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew ...

Linear probing is a collision resolution strategy. When a collision occurs on insert, we probe the hash table, in a linear, stepwise fashion, to find the next available space in which to store our new ...

Quadratic probing is intended to avoid primary clustering. We probe one step at a time, but our stride varies as the square of the step. Stride values follow the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, … etc.

The current Power Purchasing Agreements (PPAs) will be subjected to special audit conducted by the Auditor-General to determine their actual cost if a report by legislators is passed by the House. The ...
