2018-11-01erts: Fix bug for catree iterationSverker Eriksson
with keys containing off-heap terms. The passed key may actually be the one already saved (if nodes have been joined), in which case we do nothing. Calling destroy_route_key() may destroy off-heap data.

2018-10-29Optimize operator '--' and yield on large inputsJohn Högberg
The removal set now uses a red-black tree instead of an array on large inputs, decreasing runtime complexity from `n*n` to `n*log(n)`. It will also exit early when there are no more items left in the removal set, drastically improving performance and memory use when the items to be removed are present near the head of the list. This got a lot more complicated than before as the overhead of always using a red-black tree was unacceptable when either of the inputs were small, but this compromise has okay-to-decent performance regardless of input size.

2018-10-26erts: Join empty base nodes in catreeSverker Eriksson
The original implementation did not do this due to fear of bad performance. But we think the negative effect of "leaking" empty base nodes is more important to fix. To get the bad performance a special kind of access patterns is needed where base nodes are frequently emptied and then repopulated soon again. ets_SUITE:throughput_benchmark for example did not show any negative effect from this commit at all.

2018-10-23erts: Do contention adaptions during (updating) iterationsSverker Eriksson
Once an iteration key has been found, never fall back to first/last key in next/prev tree as trees may split or join under our feet. I.e we must always use previous key when searching for the next key.

OTP-14731 Implement 'exsss' (Xorshift116**) as new default 'rand' algorithm The new algorithm is a combination of the Xorshift116 ('exsp') state update and a new scrambler "StarStar" from the 2018 paper "Scrambled Linear Pseudorandom Number Generators" by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna. This combination should not have the caveat of weak low bits that the previous default algorithm(s) have had, with the cost of about 10% lower speed.

OTP-14461 - New 'rand' algorithm: Xoroshiro928** also for 'crypto' Implement a new 'rand' algorithm named 'exro928ss' and a new 'crypto' plugin for 'rand' named 'crypto_aes'. Both are based on Xoroshiro928** which is derived from Xoroshiro1024** modified to use 58-bit words for performance reasons in the Erlang VM. Xoroshiro1024** has got the Xoroshiro1024 generator and the StarStar scrambler from the 2018 paper "Scrambled Linear Pseudorandom Number Generators" by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna. This generator and scrambler combination shows no systematic weaknesses in standard statistical tests as TestU01(BigCrush) and PractRand, unlike the previously used * and + scramblers in the 'rand' module that exhibit statistical weaknesses for the lowest bits. The 'crypto' plugin uses AES-256 as scrambler and the Xoroshiro928 as generator, which gives the same very long period and jump functions as for Xoroshiro928**, but a cryptographically secure scrambler gives absolutely no detectable statistical weaknesses regardless of how the generated numbers are used. The speed of 'exro928ss' is only about 30-50% slower than the default fast 'rand' algorithm, but the state is roughly the double and it produces about 8 times the garbage per iteration. The speed of 'crypto_aes' is about half (amortized) that of the default fast 'rand' algorithm which is fast and thanks to doing encryption in batches caching the result. Hence the state is much larger.

2018-09-05Add a more scalable ETS ordered_set implementationKjell Winblad
The current ETS ordered_set implementation can quickly become a scalability bottleneck on multicore machines when an application updates an ordered_set table from concurrent processes [1][2]. The current implementation is based on an AVL tree protected from concurrent writes by a single readers-writer lock. Furthermore, the current implementation has an optimization, called the stack optimization [3], that can improve the performance when only a single process accesses a table but can cause bad scalability even in read-only scenarios. It is possible to pass the option {write_concurrency, true} to ets:new/2 when creating an ETS table of type ordered_set but this option has no effect for tables of type ordered_set without this commit. The new ETS ordered_set implementation, added by this commit, is only activated when one passes the options ordered_set and {write_concurrency, true} to the ets:new/2 function. Thus, the previous ordered_set implementation (from here on called the default implementation) can still be used in applications that do not benefit from the new implementation. The benchmark results on the following web page show that the new implementation is many times faster than the old implementation in some scenarios and that the old implementation is still better than the new implementation in some scenarios. http://winsh.me/ets_catree_benchmark/ets_ca_tree_benchmark_results.html The new implementation is expected to scale better than the default implementation when concurrent processes use the following ETS operations to operate on a table: delete/2, delete_object/2, first/1, insert/2 (single object), insert_new/2 (single object), lookup/2, lookup_element/2, member/2, next/2, take/2 and update_element/3 (single object). Currently, the new implementation does not have scalable support for the other operations (e.g., select/2). However, when these operations are used infrequently, the new implantation may still scale better than the default implementation as the benchmark results at the URL above shows. Description of the New Implementation ---------------------------------- The new implementation is based on a data structure which is called the contention adapting search tree (CA tree for short). The following publication contains a detailed description of the CA tree: A Contention Adapting Approach to Concurrent Ordered Sets Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 2018 Kjell Winblad and Konstantinos Sagonas https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpdc.2017.11.007 http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/languages/software/ca_tree/catree_proofs.pdf A discussion of how the CA tree can be used as an ETS back-end can be found in another publication [1]. The CA tree is a data structure that dynamically changes its synchronization granularity based on detected contention. Internally, the CA tree uses instances of a sequential data structure to store items. The CA tree implementation contained in this commit uses the same AVL tree implementation as is used for the default ordered set implementation. This AVL tree implementation is reused so that much of the existing code to implement the ETS operations can be reused. Tests ----- The ETS tests in `lib/stdlib/test/ets_SUITE.erl` have been extended to also test the new ordered_set implementation. The function ets_SUITE:throughput_benchmark/0 has also been added to this file. This function can be used to measure and compare the performance of the different ETS table types and options. This function writes benchmark data to standard output that can be visualized by the HTML page `lib/stdlib/test/ets_SUITE_data/visualize_throughput.html`. [1] More Scalable Ordered Set for ETS Using Adaptation. In Thirteenth ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Erlang (2014). Kjell Winblad and Konstantinos Sagonas. https://doi.org/10.1145/2633448.2633455 http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/languages/software/ca_tree/erlang_paper.pdf [2] On the Scalability of the Erlang Term Storage In Twelfth ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Erlang (2013) Kjell Winblad, David Klaftenegger and Konstantinos Sagonas https://doi.org/10.1145/2505305.2505308 http://winsh.me/papers/erlang_workshop_2013.pdf [3] The stack optimization works by keeping one preallocated stack instance in every ordered_set table. This stack is updated so that it contains the search path in some read operations (e.g., ets:next/2). This makes it possible for a subsequent ets:next/2 to avoid traversing some nodes in some cases. Unfortunately, the preallocated stack needs to be flagged so that it is not updated concurrently by several threads which cause bad scalability.
