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.

A collection of lock-free data structures written in standard C++11
I think I lean towards per-thread sharding instead of mutex based or lock free data structures except for lockfree ringbuffers.
You can get embarassingly parallel performance if you split your data by thread and aggregate periodically.
If you need a consistent view of your entire set of data, that is slow path with sharding.
In my experiments with multithreaded software I simulate a bank where many bankaccounts are randomly withdrawn from and deposited to. https://github.com/samsquire/multiversion-concurrency-contro...
I get 700 million requests per second due to the sharding of money over accounts.

Let's write a setjmp
I wrote an unrolled switch statement in Java to simulate eager async/await across treads.

The goal is that a compiler should generate this for you. This code is equivalent to the following:

Structured Concurrency Definition
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch16-00-concurrency.html
I've been working on implementing Java async/await state machine with switch statements and a scheduling loop. If the user doesn't await the async task handle, then the task's returnvalue is never handled. This is similar to the Go problem with the go statement.

If your async call returns a handle and

Small VMs and Coroutines
yield value2++
https://github.com/samsquire/multiversion-concurrency-contro...
I am still working on allowing multiple coroutines to be in flight in parallel at the same time. At the moment the tasks share the same background thread.
I asked this stackoverflow question regarding C++ coroutines, as I wanted to use coroutines with a thread pool.

Hctree is an experimental high-concurrency database back end for SQLite
This is very interesting. Thank you for submitting this and thank you for working on this.
I am highly interested in parallelism and high concurrency. I implemented multiversion concurrency control in Java.
https://github.com/samsquire/multiversion-concurrency-contro...
I am curious how to handle replication with high concurrency. I'm not sure how you detect dangerous reads+writes to the same key (tuples/fields) across different replica machines. In other words, multiple master.
I am aware Google uses truetime and some form of timestamp ordering and detection of interfering timestamps. But I'm not sure how to replicate that.
I began working on an algorithm to synchronize database records, do a sort, then a hash for each row where hash(row) = hash(previous_row.hash + row.data)
Then do a binary search on hashes matching/not matching. This is a synchronization algorithm I'm designing that requires minimal data transfer but multiple round trips.
The binary search would check the end of the data set for hash(replica_a.row[last]) == hash(replica_b.row[last]) then split the hash list in half and check the middle item, this shall tell you which row and which columns are different.

Appending to an std:string character-by-character: how does the capacity grow?
Yeah, it's nice! And Abseil does it, IFF you use LLVM libc++.
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/master/absl/string...
The standard adopted it as resize_and_overwrite. Which I think is a little clunky.

Shaving 40% Off Google’s B-Tree Implementation with Go Generics
This may be confusing to those familiar with Google's libraries. The baseline is the Go BTree, which I personally never heard of until just now, not the C++ absl::btree_set. The benchmarks aren't directly comparable, but the C++ version also comes with good microbenchmark coverage.

Deepmind Alphadev: Faster sorting algorithms discovered using deep RL
You can see hashing optimizations as well https://www.deepmind.com/blog/alphadev-discovers-faster-sort..., https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/commit/74eee2aff683cc7d...
I was one of the members who reviewed expertly what has been done both in sorting and hashing. Overall it's more about assembly, finding missed compiler optimizations and balancing between correctness and distribution (in hashing in particular).
It was not revolutionary in a sense it hasn't found completely new approaches but converged to something incomprehensible for humans but relatively good for performance which proves the point that optimal programs are very inhuman.
Note that for instructions in sorting, removing them does not always lead to better performance, for example, instructions can run in parallel and the effect can be less profound. Benchmarks can lie and compiler could do something differently when recompiling the sort3 function which was changed. There was some evidence that the effect can come from the other side.
For hashing it was even funnier, very small strings up to 64 bit already used 3 instructions like add some constant -> multiply 64x64 -> xor upper/lower. For bigger ones the question becomes more complicated, that's why 9-16 was a better spot and it simplified from 2 multiplications to just one and a rotation. Distribution on real workloads was good, it almost passed smhasher and we decided it was good enough to try out in prod. We did not rollback as you can see from abseil :)
But even given all that, it was fascinating to watch how this system was searching and was able to find particular programs can be further simplified. Kudos to everyone involved, it's a great incremental change that can bring more results in the future.
