Abstract
A computer-implemented method for traversing a first set of objects in a first dynamic list in a computer system. The method includes partitioning copies of the first set of objects into a plurality of second dynamic lists, each of the plurality of second dynamic lists being configured to contain a subset of the copies of the first set of objects, copies of the first set of objects being disposed in the plurality of second dynamic lists. The method also includes traversing the plurality of second dynamic lists using a plurality of traversal threads, thereby causing at least some of the copies of the first set of objects to be traversed in parallel.
