HIGH PERFORMANCE DICTIONARY FOR MANAGED ENVIRONMENT

Systems and methods are provided for optimizing data structures to improve the data retrieval through the use of bucketing techniques. A number of objects within an environment is drastically reduced utilizing bucketing techniques. Within the buckets, items are sequentially organized such that location is quicker. Items, or keys, are aligned with the same hash value together in a bucket and a mapping of the hash value to the offset of the first key occurrence in that bucket. This guarantees each lookup operation is only two random read accesses. Systems and methods provided herein control the pressures on a system for garbage collection and minimize memory usage with minimal impacts on performance.
