Title
Comparing the performance of concurrent hash tables implemented in Haskell
Abstract
This paper presents seven concurrent hash table implementations in Haskell, ranging from low-level synchronization mechanisms to high-level ones such as transactional memories. The hash tables were compared using different initial sizes, load factors, data types and hash functions. We also present a case study on implementing a color palette algorithm using the hash tables. The result of the comparison between the algorithms shows that the implementation using the STM Haskell transactional memory library and fine-grain synchronization provides the best performance and good scalability, followed by the implementation using lock striping and MVars.
