Hyper even got acquired by tableau a few years ago

A little trip down performance testing lane as a way to get familiar with the tooling around profiling and performance testing.

Led to a few happy discoveries of compiler optimizations in Rust.

I wrote a little bit about extendible hash tables and put some effort into creating visualisations around them. Mostly because this is something I struggle with when learning about a new topic - how to "see" what's happening

This is awesome! Also, I'm pretty sure I've come across your repo before from a SO answer (if I remember correctly)

Honestly, now that I look back at it having written it a couple of weeks ago, it doesn't feel that long. But, writing it felt incredibly wrong because I was encountering memory models for the first time.

I think for someone who has no exposure to it before, its quite dense (perhaps long wasn't the best choice of wording)

Also, I've been meaning to read The Art of Multiprocessor Programming. I've heard great things about it!

That concurrent queue is only there to illustrate usage of CAS in a data structure. I think having an actual implementation of a concurrent queue along with handling the ABA problem might be an entirely separate post.

I added in a note about the ABA problem but perhaps you're seeing a cached version of the post.
