Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What is an example of non-linear static data structure and what is an accurate breakdown of ds types?
Can create a ton of theoretical examples, but even in practice we use such data structures. An example that first came to mind is gperf which generates static hash table data structure for predefined set of strings (So you cannot add or remove any elements).

Hashtables
gperf is a generator for perfect hash functions. Its documentation has a bibliography that might contain helpful links.

Generating the code for an efficient conditional tree to select from a list of strings
I think gperf is what you need. Alternatively cmph.

How to emulate map literals in C?
Adding to this, there are tools such as gperf which are specifically designed for this. Apparently gperf works well for smaller number of keys but not for really high n (> 100,000 ish) and mph apparently works better for larger n.

The One Billion Row Challenge in CUDA: from 17 minutes to 17 seconds
Standard library maps/unordered_maps are themselves notoriously slow anyway. A sparse_hash_map from abseil or parallel-hashmaps[1] would be better.

My own Concurrent Hash Map picks
Cool! Looking forward to you trying my phmap - and please let me know if you have any question.

Boost 1.81 will have boost::unordered_flat_map...
I do this as well in my phmap and gtl implementations. It makes the tables look worse in benchmarks like the above, but prevents really bad surprises occasionally.

Comprehensive C++ Hashmap Benchmarks 2022
Thanks a lot for the great benchmark, Martin. Glad you used different hash functions, because I do sacrifice some speed to make sure that the performance of my hash maps doesn't degrade drastically with poor hash functions. Happy to see that my phmap and gtl (the C++20 version) performed well.

Can C++ maps be as efficient as Python dictionaries ?
I use https://github.com/greg7mdp/parallel-hashmap when I need better performance of maps and sets.

Is A* just always slow?
std::unordered_map is notorious for being slow. Use a better implementation (I like the flat naps from here, which are the same as abseil’s). The question that needs to be asked too is if you need to use a map.

New Boost.Unordered containers have BIG improvements!
A comparison against phmap would also be nice.

How to implement static typing in a C++ bytecode VM?
std::unordered_map is perfectly fine. You can do better with external libraries, like parallel hashmap, but these tend to be drop-in replacements
