Abstract
A system uses software to perform a first portion of a linked list traversal process, where the first portion obtains a pointer that corresponds to a key and where the pointer points into a linked list. The system further uses hardware and the obtained pointer to perform a second portion of the linked list traversal process, where the second portion locates data from the linked list that is associated with the key.
