2014-05-22libihash: add hurd_ihash_get_loadJustus Winter
* libihash/ihash.c (hurd_ihash_add): Move the code computing the load factor of the hash table... * libihash/ihash.h (hurd_ihash_get_load): ... here, together with the comment describing the method and the rationale for chosing binary percent.
2014-05-13libihash: use fast binary scaling to determine the loadJustus Winter
Expressing the maximum load in binary percent (where 128b% corresponds to 100%) allows us to use fast binary scaling to determine if the maximum load has been reached without losing precision. Furthermore, the previously used expression 'ht->nr_items * 100' overflows int at 2^25 (unsigned int at 2^26). When a hash table reached that limit, it would fail to resize and fill up the table. This change fixes that. * libihash/ihash.c (hurd_ihash_set_max_load): Update the comment. (hurd_ihash_add): Use fast binary scaling to determine the current load. * libihash/ihash.h (struct hurd_ihash): Update comment for max_load. (hurd_ihash_set_max_load): Update the comment.
2014-05-13libihash: use linear probing and fast modulo operationJustus Winter
libihash uses open addressing. Previously, quadratic probing in both directions was used to resolve collisions. Quadratic probing might result in a less efficient use of caches. Also, prime numbers of the form 4 * i + 3 were used as array sizes. This was used in combination with the integer modulo operation for hashing. It has been known for some time that libihash suffers from collisions, so a integer hash function is now applied to the keys to derive the index. Use linear probing instead. Also, use powers of two for the array sizes, so a bit mask can be used for the modulo operation. * libihash/ihash.c (ihash_sizes, ihash_nsizes): Remove. (find_index): Use linear probing and fast modulo operation. (add_one): Likewise. * libihash/ihash.h (HURD_IHASH_MIN_SIZE): New macro.
2014-05-13libihash: fix type of max_loadJustus Winter
Previously, int was used for the field max_load of struct hurd_ihash. There is no reason for this as far as I can tell. Furthermore, hurd_ihash_set_max_load takes an unsigned int max_load. * libihash/ihash.h (struct hurd_ihash): Use unsigned int for field max_load.
2014-05-13libihash: reduce the default maximum load factor to 75%Justus Winter
The performance of hash tables depend critically on a low number of hash collisions. As the table fills up, the chance of collisions necessarily raises. Previously, libihash resized the hash table when the load exceeded 80%. This seems a bit optimistic (e. g. java.util.Hashtable uses 75% as default). * libihash/ihash.h (HURD_IHASH_MAX_LOAD_DEFAULT): Set to 75.
2013-09-15libihash: add HURD_IHASH_ITERATE_ITEMS macroJustus Winter
Add a macro HURD_IHASH_ITERATE_ITEMS that iterates over all elements in the hash table making both the key and the value available. * libihash/ihash.h (HURD_IHASH_ITERATE_ITEMS): New macro.
