Hash maps

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers, and stdlib_hashmaps modules

Overview of hash maps

A hash map (hash table) is a data structure that maps keys to values. It uses a hash function to compute a hash code from the key that serves as an index into a linear array of slots (buckets) from which the desired value can be extracted. Each key ideally maps to a unique slot, but most hash functions are imperfect and can map multiple keys to the same slot resulting in collisions. Hash maps differ in how they deal with such collisions. This document discusses the hash maps in the Fortran Standard Library.

Licensing

The Fortran Standard Library is distributed under the MIT License. However components of the library should be evaluated as to whether they are compatible with the MIT License. The current hash maps were inspired by an implementation of David Chase. While the code has been greatly modified from his implementation, he has give permission for the unrestricted use of his code.

The hash map modules

The Fortran Standard Library provides two modules for the implementation of simple hash maps. These maps only accept hash functions with a single argument, the key, and yield a 32 bit hash code. The modules will need to be modified if it is desired to use hash functions with a different API. The two modules are: stdlib_hashmap_wrappers, and stdlib_hashmaps corresponding to the files: stdlib_hashmap_wrappers.f90, and stdlib_hashmaps.f90

The module stdlib_hashmap_wrappers provides types and procedures for use by stdlib_hashmaps. It provides an interface to the 32 bit hash functions of the Standard Library module, stdlib_hash_32bit, and provides wrappers to some of the hash functions so that they no longer need to be supplied seeds. It also defines two data types used to store information in the hash maps, the key_type and the other_type. The key_type is used to define keys that, in turn, are used to identify the data entered into a hash map. The other_type is intended to contain the other data associated with the key.

The module stdlib_hashmaps defines the API for a parent datatype, hashmap_type and two extensions of that hash map type: chaining_hashmap_type and open_hashmap_type.

The hashmap_type defines the Application Programmers Interface (API) for the procedures used by its two extensions. It explicitly defines five non-overridable procedures. It also defines the interfaces for eleven deferred procedures. It does not define the finalization routines for the two extension types, or one routine provided by the open_hashmap_type.

The chaining_hashmap_type uses separate chaining with linked lists to deal with hash index collisions. In separate chaining the colliding indices are handled by using linked lists with their roots at the hash index. The chaining_hashmap_type procedures are implemented in the module stdlib_hashmap_chaining corresponding to the file, stdlib_hashmap_chaining.f90.

The open_hashmap_type uses linear open addressing to deal with hash index collisions. In linear open addressing the colliding indices are handled by searching from the initial hash index in increasing steps of one (modulo the hash map size) for an open map slot. The open_hashmap_type procedures are implemented in the submodule stdlib_hashmap_open corresponding to the file stdlib_hashmap_open.f90.

The maps use powers of two for their slot sizes, so that the function, fibonacci_hash, can be used to map the hash codes to indices in the map. This is expected to be more efficient than prime number mapping using a modulo operation, and reduces the requirement that the hash function need to do a good job randomizing its lower order bits. They do require a good randomizing hash method for good performance. Both adjust the map size to reduce collisions, based on the ratio of the number of hash map probes to the number of subroutine calls. Wile the maps make extensive use of pointers internally, a private finalization subroutine avoids memory leaks. The maps can take entry keys of type key_type, and other data of the type other_type. The maps allow the addition, removal, and lookup of entries, and the inclusion of data in addition to the entry key.

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers module

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers module provides data types to represent keys and associated data stored in a module, but is also, a wrapper for the stdlib_hash_32bit module. It allows direct access to the stdlib_hash_32bit procedures: fibonacci_hash, fnv_1_hasher, fnv_1a_hasher; and provides wrapper functions, seeded_nmhash32_hasher, seeded_nmhash32x_hasher, and seeded_water_hasher to the hash functions: nmhash32, nmhash32x, and water_hash, respectively. It defines an interface, hasher_fun, compatible with the hash functions that take a non-scalar key. It defines one integer constant used as a kind value,int_hash. It also defines two types, key_type and other_type, and associated procedures, for storing and manipulating keys and their associated data.

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers's constant, int_hash

The constant int_hash is used to define the integer kind value for the returned hash codes and variables used to access them. It currently is imported from stdlib_hash_32bit where it has the value, int32.

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers' module's derived types

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers module defines two derived types: key_type, and other_type. The key_type is intended to be used for the search keys of hash tables. The other_type is intended to store additional data associated with a key. Both types are opaque. Their current representations are as follows

    type :: key_type
        private
        integer(int8), allocatable :: value(:)
    end type key_type

    type :: other_type
        private
        class(*), allocatable :: value
    end type other_type

The module also defines six procedures for those types: copy_key, copy_other, equal_keys, free_key, free_other, get, and set, and one operator, ==, for use by the hash maps to manipulate or inquire of components of those types.

Table of stdlib_hashmap_wrappers procedures

The stdlib_hashmap_wrappers module provides procedures in several categories: procedures to manipulate data of the key_type; procedures to manipulate data of the other_type, and 32 bit hash functions for keys. The procedures in each category are listed below. It also provides an operator to compare two key type values for equality.

Procedures to manipulate key_type data:

  • copy_key( key_in, key_out ) - Copies the contents of the key, key_in, to contents of the key, key_out.

  • get( key, value ) - extracts the contents of key into value, an int8 array, int32 array, or character string.

  • free_key( key ) - frees the memory in key.

  • set( key, value ) - sets the content of key to value.
    Supported key types are int8 array, int32 array, and character string.

Procedures to manipulate other_type data:

  • copy_other( other_in, other_out ) - Copies the contents of the other data, other_in, to the contents of the other data, other_out.

  • get( other, value ) - extracts the contents of other into the class(*) variable value.

  • set( other, value ) - sets the content of other to the class(*) variable value.

  • free_other( other ) - frees the memory in other.

Procedures to hash keys to 32 bit integers:

  • fnv_1_hasher( key ) - hashes a key using the FNV-1 algorithm.

  • fnv_1a_hasher( key ) - hashes a key using the FNV-1a algorithm.

  • seeded_nmhash32_hasher( key ) - hashes a key using the nmhash32 algorithm.

  • seeded_nmhash32x_hasher( key ) - hashes a key using the nmhash32x algorithm.

  • seeded_water_hasher( key ) - hashes a key using the waterhash algorithm.

Operator to compare two key_type values for equality

  • key1 == key2 - compares key1 with key2 for equality

The stdlib_hashmaps module

The stdlib_hashmaps module defines three public data types, associated procedures and constants that implement two simple hash map types using separate chaining hashing and open addressing hashing. The derived type hashmap_type is the parent type to its two extensions: chaining_hashmap_type and open_hashmap_type. The extension types provide procedures to manipulate the structure of a hash map object: init, map_entry, rehash, remove, and set_other_data. They also provide procedures to inquire about entries in the hash map: get_other_data, and key_test. Finally they provide procedures to inquire about the overall structure and performance of the hash map object:calls, entries, get_other_data, loading, slots, and total_depth. The module also defines a number of public constants: probe_factor, load_factor, map_probe_factor, default_bits, max_bits, int_calls, int_depth, int_index, int_probes, success, alloc_fault, and array_size_error.

Generic key interfaces for key_test, map_entry, get_other_data, remove, and set_other_data are povided so that the supported types of int8 arrays, int32 arrays and character scalars can be used in the key field as well as the base key type. So for key_test, key_key_test specifies key type for the key field, int8_key_test is int8 for the key field and so on. Procedures other than key_key_test will call the set function to generate a key type and pass to key_key_test.

The stdlib_hashmaps module's public constants

The module defines several categories of public constants. Some are used to parameterize the empirical slot expansion code. Others parameterize the slots table size. Some are used to define integer kind values for different applications. Finally, some are used to report errors or success.

The constants probe_factor, and map_probe_factor are used to parameterize the slot expansion code used to determine when in a in a procedure call the number of slots need to be increased to decrease the search path for an entry. The constant probe_factor is used to determine when the ratio of the number of map probes to map calls is too large and the slots need expansion. The constant map_probe_factor is used to determine when inserting a new entry the ratio of the number of map probes to map calls is too large and the slots need expansion.

The constants default_bits, and max_bits are used to parameterize the table's slots size. The default_bits constant defines the default initial number of slots with a current value of 6 resulting in an initial 2**6 == 64 slots. This may optionally be overridden on hash map creation. The max_bits parameter sets the maximum table size as 2**max_bits with a default value for max_bits of 30. The table will not work for a slots size greater than 2**30.

The constants int_calls, int_depth, int_index, and int_probes are used to define integer kind values for various contexts. The number of calls are reported and stored in entities of kind int_calls. Currently int_calls has the value of int64. The total depth, the number of inquiries needed to access all elements of the table, is reported and stored in entities of kind int_depth. Currently int_depth has the value of int64. The number of entries in the table, is reported and stored in entities of kind int_index. Currently int_index has the value of int32. The number of probes, hash map enquiries, are reported and stored in entities of kind int_probes. Currently int_probes has the value of int64.

The constant load_factor is only used by the open_hashmap_type. It specifies the maximum fraction of the available slots that may be filled before expansion occurs. The current load_factor = 0.5625 so the current implementation of open_hashmap_type can only hold a little more than 2**29 entries.

Finally the error codes success, alloc_fault, and array_size_error are used to report the error status of certain procedure calls. The succes code indicates that no problems were found. The alloc_fault code indicates that a memory allocation failed. Finally the array_size_error indicates that on table creation slots_bits is less than default_bits or greater than max_bits.

The stdlib_hashmaps module's derived types

The stdlib_hashmaps module defines three public derived types and seven private types used in the implementation of the public types. The public types are the abstract hashmap_type and its extensions: chaining_hashmap_type and open_hashmap_type. The three private derived types, chaining_map_entry_type, chaining_map_entry_ptr, and chaining_map_entry_pool are used in the implementation of the chaining_hashmap_type public type. The four private derived types, open_map_entry_type, open_map_entry_list, open_map_entry_ptr, and open_map_entry_pool are used in the implementation of the open_hashmap_type public type. Each of these types are described below.

The hashmap_type abstract type

The hashmap_type abstract type serves as the parent type for the two types chaining_hashmap_type and open_hashmap_type. It defines seven private components:

  • call_count - the number of procedure calls on the map;

  • nbits - the number of bits used to address the slots;

  • num_entries - the number of entries in the map;

  • num_free - the number of entries in the free list of removed entries;

  • probe_count - the number of map probes since the last resizing or initialization;

  • total_probes - the number of probes of the map up to the last resizing or initialization; and

  • hasher - a pointer to the hash function used by the map.

It also defines five non-overridable procedures:

  • calls - returns the number of procedure calls on the map;

  • entries - returns the number of entries in the map;

  • map_probes - returns the number of map probes since initialization;

  • num_slots - returns the number of slots in the map; and

  • slots_bits - returns the number of bits used to address the slots;

and ten deferred procedures:

  • get_all_keys - gets all the keys contained in a map;

  • get_other_data - gets the other map data associated with the key;

  • init - initializes the hash map;

  • key_test - returns a logical flag indicating whether the key is defined in the map.

  • loading - returns the ratio of the number of entries to the number of slots;

  • map_entry - inserts a key and its other associated data into the map;

  • rehash - rehashes the map with the provided hash function;

  • remove - removes the entry associated wit the key;

  • set_other_data - replaces the other data associated with the key;

  • total_depth - returns the number of probes needed to address all the entries in the map;

The type's definition is below:

    end type hashmap_type

The chaining_map_entry_type derived type

Entities of the type chaining_map_entry_type are used to define a linked list structure that stores the key, its other data, the hash of the key, and the resulting index into the inverse table. The type's definition is below:

    type :: chaining_map_entry_type  ! Chaining hash map entry type
        private
        integer(int_hash)   :: hash_val ! Full hash value
        type(key_type)      :: key ! The entry's key
        type(other_type)    :: other ! Other entry data
        integer(int_index)  :: index ! Index into inverse table
        type(chaining_map_entry_type), pointer :: &
            next => null() ! Next bucket
    end type chaining_map_entry_type

Currently the int_hash and int_index have the value of int32.

The chaining_map_entry_ptr derived type

The type chaining_map_entry_ptr is used to define the elements of the hash map that are either empty or link to the linked lists containing the elements of the table. The type's definition is below:

    type chaining_map_entry_ptr ! Wrapper for a pointer to a chaining
                                ! map entry type object
        type(chaining_map_entry_type), pointer :: target => null()
    end type chaining_map_entry_ptr

The chaining_map_entry_pool derived type

The type chaining_map_entry_pool is used to implement a pool of allocated chaining_map_entry_type elements to save on allocation costs. The type's definition is below:

    type :: chaining_map_entry_pool
    ! Type implementing a pool of allocated
    ! `chaining_map_entry_type` objects
        private
    ! Index of next bucket
        integer(int_index)                          :: next = 0
        type(chaining_map_entry_type), allocatable :: more_map_entries(:)
        type(chaining_map_entry_pool), pointer      :: lastpool => null()
    end type chaining_map_entry_pool

The chaining_hashmap_type derived type

The chaining_hashmap_type derived type extends the hashmap_type to implements a separate chaining hash map. In addition to the components of the hashmap_type it provides the four components:

  • cache - a pool of chaining_map_entry_pool objects used to reduce allocation costs;

  • free_list - a free list of map entries;

  • inverse - an array of chaining_map_entry_ptr bucket lists (inverses) storing entries at fixed locations once entered; and

  • slots - an array of bucket lists serving as the hash map.

It also implements all of the deferred procedures of the hashmap_type and a finalizer for its maps. The type's definition is as follows:

    type, extends(hashmap_type) :: chaining_hashmap_type
        private
        type(chaining_map_entry_pool), pointer    :: cache => null()
        type(chaining_map_entry_type), pointer    :: free_list => null()
        type(chaining_map_entry_ptr), allocatable :: inverse(:)
        type(chaining_map_entry_ptr), allocatable :: slots(:)
    contains
        procedure :: get_all_keys => get_all_chaining_keys
        procedure :: key_get_other_data => get_other_chaining_data

        procedure :: key_set_other_data => set_other_chaining_data
        procedure :: total_depth => total_chaining_depth
        procedure :: key_key_test => chaining_key_test
        final     :: free_chaining_map
    end type chaining_hashmap_type

The open_map_entry_type derived type

Entities of the type open_map_entry_type are used to define a linked list structure that stores the key, its other data, the hash of the key, and the resulting index into the inverse table. The type's definition is below:

    type :: open_map_entry_type  ! Open hash map entry type
        private
        integer(int_hash)  :: hash_val ! Full hash value
        type(key_type)     :: key ! The entry's key
        type(other_type)   :: other ! Other entry data
        integer(int_index) :: index ! Index into inverse table
    end type open_map_entry_type

Currently int_hash and int_index have the value of int32.

The open_map_entry_ptr derived type

The type open_map_entry_ptr is used to define the elements of the hash map that are either empty or link to the linked lists containing the elements of the table. The type's definition is below:

    type open_map_entry_ptr ! Wrapper for a pointer to a open
                            ! map entry type object
        type(open_map_entry_type), pointer :: target => null()
    end type open_map_entry_ptr

The open_hashmap_type derived type

The open_hashmap_type derived type extends the hashmap_type to implement an open addressing hash map. In addition to the components of the hashmap_type it provides the four components:

  • cache - a pool of open_map_entry_pool objects used to reduce allocation costs;

  • free_list - a free list of map entries;

  • index_mask - an and mask used in linear addressing;

  • inverse - an array of open_map_entry_ptr bucket lists (inverses) storing entries at fixed locations once entered; and

  • slots - an array of bucket lists serving as the hash map.

It also implements all of the deferred procedures of the hashmap_type and a finalizer for its maps. The type's definition is as follows:

    type, extends(hashmap_type) :: open_hashmap_type
        private
        integer(int_index) :: index_mask = 2_int_index**default_bits-1
        type(open_map_entry_pool), pointer    :: cache => null()
        type(open_map_entry_list), pointer    :: free_list => null()
        type(open_map_entry_ptr), allocatable  :: inverse(:)
        integer(int_index), allocatable        :: slots(:)
    contains
        procedure :: get_all_keys => get_all_open_keys
        procedure :: key_get_other_data => get_other_open_data
        procedure :: init => init_open_map
        procedure :: loading => open_loading
        procedure :: key_map_entry => map_open_entry
        procedure :: rehash => rehash_open_map
        procedure :: key_remove_entry => remove_open_entry
        procedure :: key_set_other_data => set_other_open_data
        procedure :: total_depth => total_open_depth
        procedure :: key_key_test => open_key_test
        final     :: free_open_map
    end type open_hashmap_type

  • map % remove( key, existed ) - Remove the entry, if any, associated with the key.

  • map % set_other_data( key, other, exists ) - Change the other data associated with the entry.

Procedures to report the content of a map:

  • map % get_other_data( key, other, exists ) - Returns the other data associated with the key;

  • map % key_test( key, present) - Returns a flag indicating whether the key is present in the map.

Procedures to report on the structure of the map:

  • map % calls() - the number of subroutine calls on the hash map.
