Hash tables are heavily used within the kernel to speed access to objects of interest. Using a hash table will be faster than, say, a linear search through a single list, but there is always value in ...

The first time I heard about hash tables was after taking a compilers course during my BSc. The truth is, I was not able to understand and appreciate their usefulness fully back then. Now that I know ...

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 ...

Provides an introduction to and implementation of chained hash tables. Hash tables are data structures that are used when you are managing a large amount of data and need to be able find an item ...

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) this week opened a competition to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm, a tool that converts a file, message or block of data to a short ...

The diagrams are all done with dia. It drives me nuts sometimes but it generally works well and the layering support makes it easy to make pictures with different combinations of arrows with minimal ...
