Abstract
The present disclosure includes techniques for storing indexed values that may increase computing performance. In one example, a method includes receiving a request to store an input value in a data structure. The method also includes determining the input value is not represented by an index value of the first group of index values, generating an index value that represents the input value, and determining the generated index value is not included in the first group of representations. The method also includes generating a second group of index values wherein a first size of index values of the first group is different than a second size of index values of the second group. The method also includes modifying a storage capacity of the data structure to store the index values of the second group of the second size and storing the second group of index values in the data structure.
