US Patent 7916728 Lockless atomic table update

Upon detecting a data event initiating an update to a table, a first classifier index associated with the data event is identified. From a classifier table, the current position in a first dimension of the table associated with the classifier index is determined. An open position in the first dimension of the table is also identified. Updated data is stored in the open position within the table. In the classifier table, the open position storing the updated data is associated with the classifier index.
