Common'data structure'revamped to work with multicore chips Today hardware manufacturers are making computer chips faster by giving them more cores or processing units.
In principle doubling the number of cores should double the efficiency of a computation. With algorithms that use a common data structure called a priority queue that's been true for up to about eight cores
--but adding any more cores actually causes performance to plummet. At the Association for Computing Machinery's Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming in February researchers from MIT's Computer science and Artificial intelligence Laboratory will describe a new way of implementing priority queues that lets them keep pace with the addition of new cores.
In simulations algorithms using their data structure continued to demonstrate performance improvement with the addition of new cores up to a total of 80 cores.
A priority queue is a data structure that as its name might suggest sequences data items according to priorities assigned them
when they're stored. At any given time only the item at the front of the queue--the highest-priority item--can be retrieved.
when multiple cores try to access the front of a priority queue at the same time. The problem is compounded by modern chips'reliance on caches--high-speed memory banks where cores store local copies of frequently used data.
As you're reading the front of the queue the whole front of the queue will be in your cache says Justin Kopinsky an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering
and Microsoft Research's Dan Alistarh a former student of Shavit's relaxed the requirement that each core has to access the first item in the queue.
--which must be the case for multicore computing to work anyway--they can simply be assigned to cores at random.
But a core has to know where to find the data item it's been assigned
if multiple cores are trying to modify data items simultaneously. Say that a core has been assigned element five.
It goes to the head of the list and starts working its way down. But another core is already in the process of modifying element three
so the first core has to sit and wait until it's done. The MIT researchers break this type of logjam by repurposing yet another data structure called a skip list.
The skip list begins with a linked list and builds a hierarchy of linked lists on top of it.
how far down depends on how many cores are trying to access the root list. Each core then moves some random number of steps and jumps down to the next layer of the hierarchy.
It repeats the process until it reaches the root list. Collisions can still happen particularly
when a core is modifying a data item that appears at multiple levels of the hierarchy
