The interesting\n\ +property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.\n" +"\n\ +The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory\n\ +representation for a tournament.

In\n\ +an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner\n\ +over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree\n\ +to see all opponents s/he had. However, in many computer applications\n\ +of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.\n\ +To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to\n\ +replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes\n\ +that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,\n\ +but the top cell \"wins\" over the two topped cells.\n" +"\n\ +If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly\n\ +the overall winner. The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and\n\ +find the \"next\" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the\n\ +diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down\n\ +the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.\n\ +This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.\n\ +By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.\n" +"\n\ +A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new\n\ +items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are\n\ +not \"better\" than the last 0'th element you extracted. This is\n\ +especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all\n\ +incoming events, and the \"win\" condition means the smallest scheduled\n\ +time. When an event schedule other events for execution, they are\n\ +scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap. So, a\n\ +heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I\n\ +used for my MIDI sequencer :-).\n" +"\n\ +Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively\n\ +studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,\n\ +the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different\n\ +than the average case. However, there are other representations which\n\ +are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.\n" +"\n\ +Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts. You most probably all\n\ +know that a big sort implies producing \"runs\" (which are pre-sorted\n\ +sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),\n\ +followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often\n\ +very cleverly organised[1]. It is very important that the initial\n\ +sort produces the longest runs possible. Tournaments are a good way\n\ +to that. If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you\n\ +replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll\n\ +produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,\n\ +and much better for input fuzzily ordered.\n" +"\n\ +Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which\n\ +may not fit in the current tournament (because the value \"wins\" over\n\ +the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the\n\ +heap decreases. The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately\n\ +for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the\n\ +same rate the first heap is melting. When the first heap completely\n\ +vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run. Clever and quite\n\ +effective!\n\ +\n\ +In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know. I use them in\n\ +a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module\n\ +around. :-)\n" +"\n\ +--------------------\n\ +[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are\n\ +more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking\n\ +capabilities of the disks. On devices which cannot seek, like big\n\ +tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very\n\ +clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the\n\ +most effective possible (that is, will best participate at\n\ +\"progressing\" the merge). Some tapes were even able to read\n\ +backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.\n\ +Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!\n\ +From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)\n"); + +PyMODINIT_FUNC +initheapq(void) +{ + PyObject *m; + + m = Py_InitModule3("heapq", heapq_methods, module_doc); + PyModule_AddObject(m, "__about__", PyString_FromString(__about__)); +} + |
