Multi-Array Queue

A new Queue data structure that inherits the positive properties of array-based Queues while removing their main drawback: a fixed size.

The Queue is backed by arrays of Objects with exponentially growing sizes, of which all are in use, but only the first one (with initialCapacity) is allocated up-front.

A detailed description is given in Paper. Performance figures are in the Paper as well.

Development status

  • Currently (2024) this code is in its early stage and only for academic interest, not for production use.
  • Do not send me Pull Requests - the code is small so I want to maintain it single-handedly.
  • Reviews, tests and comments are welcome.
