Adaptive data collections may include various type of data arrays, sets, bags, maps, and other data structures. A simple interface for each adaptive collection may provide access via a unified API to adaptive implementations of the collection. A single adaptive data collection may include multiple, different adaptive implementations. A system configured to implement adaptive data collections may include the ability to adaptively select between various implementations, either manually or automatically, and to map a given workload to differing hardware configurations. Additionally, hardware resource needs of different configurations may be predicted from a small number of workload measurements. Adaptive data collections may provide language interoperability, such as by leveraging runtime compilation to build adaptive data collections and to compile and optimize implementation code and user code together. Adaptive data collections may also provide language-independent such that implementation code may be written once and subsequently used from multiple programming languages.
