In an exemplary embodiment, a device receives a key that corresponds to the value, where the key used to retrieve the value form the shared memory hash table and the shared memory hash table is written to by a writer and read from by a plurality of readers. In addition, the device retrieves an index from a local values table, where the local values table stores a plurality of indices for one of the plurality of readers and the index is an index into an entry in the shared memory hash table.
