| | Array and hash table are probably the most important data structures. Some programming languages such as Perl, Lua and Javascript, almost build the language core on top of the two data structures. While array is straightforward to implement, hash table is not. This is why we have paid continuous efforts in improving the hash table...

| | Few data-structures are more ubiquitous in real-world development than the hash table. Nearly every major programming features an implementation in its standard library or built into the runtime. Yet, there is no conclusive best strategy to implement one and the major programming languages diverge widely in their implementations! I did a survey of the Hash map implementations in Go, Python, Ruby, Java, C#, C++, and Scala to compare and contrast how they were implemented.

| | Programmers don't understand hash functions, and I can demonstrate this to most of the people that will read this with a single observation: When you saw the words "hash function" in the title, you might have assumed this was going to be a blog post about password storage. (Passwords are the most common knee-jerk reaction...

| David Patterson had recently mentioned that (rephrasing): The programmers may benefit from using complex instruction sets directly, but it is increasingly challenging for compilers to automatically generate them in the right spots. In the last 3-4 years I gave a bunch of talks on the intricacies of SIMD programming, highlighting the divergence in hardware and software design in the past ten years. Chips are becoming bigger and more complicated to add more functionality, but the general-purpose compilers like GCC, LLVM, MSVC and ICC cannot keep up with the pace. Hardly any developer codes in Assembly today, hoping that the compiler will do the heavy lifting.
