MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611049707 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering & Technology, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on April 18, for 'a lock-free map data structure for multi-core processors.'
Inventor(s) include Utkarsh Mishra; and Sovers Singh Bisht.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A lock-free map data structure for multi-core processors includes a map controller (101), an active bucket table (102), bucket headers (104), entry nodes (105), a resize coordinator (103), an atomic operation interface (106), a migration tracker (107), and a deferred retirement manager (108). The structure supports concurrent insertion, lookup, replacement, and removal through atomic state transitions without a global lock. Progressive migration transfers bucket contents to a successor table during resizing, while deferred retirement safely reclaims detached nodes. The arrangement improves scalability, continuity of service, and memory safety during highly concurrent key-value processing."
