Hash table collision handling on storage devices with latency

W. B. Samson *

Department of Computing Science, University of Stirling, Stirling, UK

A comparison of linear overflow with more sophisticated collision handling schemes shows that although the more sophisticated schemes require fewer probes, the search times may be greatly influenced by latency. The break-even point between linear overflow and other methods is derived for a variety of circumstances.

Received February 1980.
