Skiplists are versatile data structures with various variants tailored to different access patterns and applications.
Sammendrag
The content provides an in-depth analysis of skiplists, including their basics, operations, variants, and applications in various systems. It covers deterministic skiplists, concurrent skiplists, lock-free skiplists, multi-versioned skiplists, and skiplists for skewed data access patterns. Additionally, it explores the use of skiplists in database systems, operating systems, and network overlay algorithms.
Statistikk
Skiplists have become prevalent in systems.
The main advantages of skiplists are their simplicity and ease of implementation.
The expected average length of a search path is $(log=), where the list has = elements.
The cost of search is proportional to the search path of the key.
The expected search time for a highly weighted item in a biased skiplist is $(1 + log(, /F8)).
