Here’s a Google Tech Talk of Cliff Click discussing a Java hash table implementation that supports concurrent access using compare-and-swap rather than locking:
I present a lock-free concurrent Hash Table implementation with better single-thread performance than most Hash Tables, and better multi-thread performance than all other implementations I tried. I demonstrate scaling up to 768 CPUs even with high mutation rates. I show correctness by looking at the problem in a very different light than the usual “happens-before” / memory-order / fencing style of thinking.
Adrian Smith (on TidBITS Talk):
Canvas started on the Mac and in many ways is unique in it combination of vector and bitmap tools (although less so now than in its early days). Interesting, I think they beat most of the other players to market with an OS X native version (I’m sure version 8 came out before 10.1 was released).
