This repository provides an implementation of the Adaptive Radix Tree (ART) in a thread safe manner. Two different synchronization schemes are used, Optimistic Lock Coupling and Read-Optimized-Write-Exclusion (ROWEX).

The techniques used are described in the following papers:

• "The Adaptive Radix Tree: ARTful Indexing for Main-Memory Databases": https://db.in.tum.de/~leis/papers/ART.pdf
• "The ART of Practical Synchronization": DaMoN 2016 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2933352

• cmake
• C++ 14 compiler
• tbb
• jemalloc

for Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cmake g++ libtbb-dev libjemalloc-dev

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make

Run the example test with:

./example n 0|1|2

n: number of keys
0: sorted keys
1: dense keys
2: sparse keys

Some g++ versions fail to link jemalloc. Ensure with ldd that jemalloc is linked. If it's not then either use clang or load jemalloc manually:

LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/jemalloc.so ./example ...
