Abstract

Given an integer arrayA, theprefix-sum problemis to answersum(i)queries that return the sum of the elements inA[0..i], knowing that the integers inAcan be changed. It is a classic problem in data structure design with a wide range of applications in computing from coding to databases. In this work, we propose and compare practical solutions to this problem, showing that new trade-offs between the performance of queries and updates can be achieved on modern hardware.
