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.

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.

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

Experiences with Concurrent Hash Map Libraries
In the case of libcuckoo a lock is obtained for iterating the elements. See here. This is done infrequently to prevent performance impact.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing parallel-hashmap and libcuckoo you can also consider the following projects:
