  This paper presents a non-blocking Patricia trie implementation for an
asynchronous shared-memory system using Compare&Swap. The trie implements a
linearizable set and supports three update operations: insert adds an element,
delete removes an element and replace replaces one element by another. The
replace operation is interesting because it changes two different locations of
tree atomically. If all update operations modify different parts of the trie,
they run completely concurrently. The implementation also supports a wait-free
find operation, which only reads shared memory and never changes the data
structure. Empirically, we compare our algorithms to some existing set
implementations.
