 An \(O(1)\) priority queue based on algorithms from: Brown R, 1988. Calendar Queues: A Fast {O}(1)Priority Queue Implementation for the Simulation Event Set Problem. Communications of the ACM 31(10), 1220-1227. The priority queue has an \(O(1)\) time for insertion unlinking and holding of queue items with a favorable constant when compared to tree based priority queue data structures such as splay trees. Results presented by Brown show that this data structure outperforms tree based implementations and that simple ordered linked lists with \(O(n)\) operations outperform both calendar queues and tree based queues when there are less than ten items in the queue.
