The F14 resolves collisions (multiple keys that map to the same array index) by double hashing. ... This speeds up both the hash table and its surrounding code. This isn't just a theory.

The first hash tables date back to the early 1950s, and computer scientists have studied and used them ever since. Among other things, researchers wanted to figure out the speed limits for some of ...

In the world of decentralization, distributed hash tables (DHTs) recently have had a revolutionary effect. The chaotic, ad hoc topologies of the first-generation peer-to-peer architectures have been ...
