Faster.Map

The goal of Faster.Map is to create a more efficient and performant alternative to the Dictionary and ConcurrentDictionary classes provided by .NET. These standard collections are widely used for key-value pair storage in .NET applications, but they have certain limitations, particularly in high-performance and concurrent scenarios.

Available Implementations:

DenseMap with SIMD Instructions: Harnesses SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instructions for parallel processing, resulting in accelerated lookup times. Ideal for scenarios demanding high throughput and optimal CPU utilization.
RobinHoodMap with Linear Probing: Employs linear probing to resolve hash collisions, reducing the likelihood of clustering and improving access speed. Suitable for applications where a balance between performance and simplicity is required.
CMap is a high-performance, thread-safe, lockfree concurrent hashmap that uses open addressing, quadratic probing, and Fibonacci hashing to manage key-value pairs. The default load factor is set to 0.5, meaning the hash map will resize when it is half full.
Installation:

You can include Faster.Map in your C# project via NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package Faster.Map

How to use

DenseMap Example

// Example usage in C# (using DenseMap with SIMD Instructions)
using Faster.Map.DenseMap;

// Create a DenseMapSIMD object
var map = new DenseMap<string, string>();

// Add key-value pairs
map.Emplace("key1", "value1");

// Retrieve values
var result = map.Get("key1", out var retrievedValue);

Console.WriteLine(retrievedValue); // Output: "value1"
