Scalable accumulator.

A scalable accumulator can be used to scalably accumulate an integer value in parallel as long as the accumulated value is read infrequently.

Common interface

type t

The type of a scalable accumulator.

val make : int -> t

make n returns a new accumulator whose initial value is n.

module Xt : sig ... end

Explicit transaction log passing on accumulators.

val add : t -> int -> unit

add a n increments the value of the accumulator a by n. add operations can be performed scalably in parallel.

val incr : t -> unit

incr a is equivalent to add a 1.

val decr : t -> unit

decr a is equivalent to add a (-1).

val get : t -> int

get a returns the current value of the accumulator.

CAUTION: Performing a get is expensive and can limit scalability.

val set : t -> int -> unit

set a n sets the current value of the accumulator a to n.
