Funded Activity Summary

Data Structures for Multi-Core. The project intends to improve data structures to reduce the bottleneck effect caused by multiple processor cores. The hardware used for a typical server platform has increasing numbers of processor cores. This growing number of cores creates a bottleneck effect when accessing the data that are structured in the shared memory of these servers. These contended data structures limit the server performance and new algorithms are necessary. The project proposes to relax traditional consistency criteria to provide high concurrency and to leverage optimistic executions that proceed concurrently but may roll back depending on the conflicts with other concurrent executions they encounter. The concurrent data structures would allow application performance to scale with higher numbers of hardware cores.
