+memory manangement
+------------------
+- allow threads to dynamically enter and exit rcu's token ring
+- augment rcu with heartbeat manager to kill stalled threads
+- make rcu try yielding when its buffer gets full
+- alternate memory reclamation schemes: hazard pointers and/or reference counting
+- seperate nbd_malloc/nbd_free into general purpose malloc/free replacement
+
+quality
+-------
+- verify the key memory management in list, skiplist, and hashtable
- transaction tests
-- validate the arguments to interface functions
+- port perf tests from lib-high-scale
+- characterize the performance of hashtable vs. skiplist vs. list
+- validate function arguments in interface functions
+- document usage of the library
+- document algorithms
+
+optimization
+------------
+- investigate 16 byte CAS; ht can store GUIDs inline instead of pointers to actual keys
- shortcut from write-set to entries/nodes
- use a shared scan for write-set validation, similar to ht copy logic
-- characterize the performance of hashtable, list and skiplist
- experiment with the performance impact of not passing the hash between functions in ht
- experiment with embedding the keys in the list/skiplist nodes
-- allow values of 0 to be inserted into maps (change DOES_NOT_EXIST to something else)
-- see if it's possible to rename nbd_malloc to malloc
+
+features
+--------
+- allow values of 0 to be inserted into maps (change DOES_NOT_EXIST to something other than 0)
