Concurrent Tries with Efficient Non-blocking Snapshots Aleksandar Prokopec Phil Bagwell

Motivation val numbers = getNumbers() // compute square roots numbers
foreach { entry => x = entry.root n = entry.number entry.root = 0.5 * (x + n / x) if (abs(entry.root - x) < eps) numbers.remove(entry) }

Snapshot-based iterator def iterator = if (isSnapshot) new Iterator(root) else
snapshot().iterator()
Snapshot-based size def size = { val sz = 0
val it = iterator while (it.hasNext) sz += 1 sz }
Snapshot-based size def size = { val sz = 0
val it = iterator while (it.hasNext) sz += 1 sz } Above is O(n). But, by caching size in nodes - amortized O(logk n)! (see source code)
Snapshot-based atomic clear def clear() = { val or =
READ(root) val nr = new INode(new Gen) if (!CAS(root, or, nr)) clear() } (roughly)
Evaluation - quad core i7
Evaluation – UltraSPARC T2
Evaluation – 4x 8-core i7
Evaluation – snapshot
Conclusion • snapshots are linearizable and lock-free • snapshots take
constant time • snapshots are horizontally scalable • snapshots add a non-significant overhead to the algorithm if they aren't used • the approach may be applicable to tree-based lock-free data-structures in general (intuition)
Thank you!
