Abstract
A computer-implemented method of storing data for fast lookup comprises forming a first and a second array of pointers, forming a record to store, the record comprising fields for, a first list pointer, a second list pointer, which is not the first field in the record, a first key, and a second key. The method further comprises determining a first index based at least in part the first key, setting the value of the pointer at the first index in the first array to the location of the first pointer field of the record, determining a second index based at least in part the second key, and setting the value of the pointer at the second index in the second array to the location of the second pointer field of the record.
