Class CharBigArrays
Note that BinIO
and TextIO
contain several methods that make it possible to load and save big arrays of primitive types as
sequences of elements in DataInput
format (i.e., not as objects) or as sequences
of lines of text.
Parallel operations
Some algorithms provide a parallel version that will by default use the common pool, but this can be overridden by calling the function in a task already in theForkJoinPool
that the operation should run in. For
example, something along the lines of
"poolToParallelSortIn.invoke(() -> parallelQuickSort(arrayToSort))
" will run the parallel
sort in poolToParallelSortIn
instead of the default pool.- See Also:

Douglas McIlroy, “Engineering radix sort”, Computing Systems, 6(1), pages 5−27 (1993), and further improved using the digit-oracle idea described by Juha Kärkkäinen and Tommi Rantala in “Engineering radix sort for strings”, String Processing and Information Retrieval, 15th International Symposium, volume 5280 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pages 3−14, Springer (2008).
This method implements a lexicographical sorting of the arguments. Pairs of elements in the same position in the two provided arrays will be considered a single key, and permuted accordingly. In the end, either
a[i] < a[i + 1]
ora[i] == a[i + 1]
andb[i] <= b[i + 1]
.- Parameters:
a
- the first big array to be sorted.b
- the second big array to be sorted.from
- the index of the first element (inclusive) to be sorted.to
- the index of the last element (exclusive) to be sorted.- Implementation Specification:
- This implementation is significantly faster than quicksort already at small sizes (say, more than 10000 elements), but it can only sort in ascending order. It will allocate a support array of bytes with the same number of elements as the arrays to be sorted.

radixSortIndirect
public static void radixSortIndirect(long[][] perm, char[][] a, char[][] b, boolean stable) Sorts the specified pair of arrays lexicographically using indirect radix sort.The sorting algorithm is a tuned radix sort adapted from Peter M. McIlroy, Keith Bostic and M. Douglas McIlroy, “Engineering radix sort”, Computing Systems, 6(1), pages 5−27 (1993).
This method implement an indirect sort. The elements of
perm
(which must be exactly the numbers in the interval[0..length(perm))
) will be permuted so thata[perm[i]] ≤ a[perm[i + 1]]
ora[perm[i]] == a[perm[i + 1]]
andb[perm[i]] ≤ b[perm[i + 1]]
.- Parameters:
perm
- a permutation array indexinga
.a
- the array to be sorted.b
- the second array to be sorted.stable
- whether the sorting algorithm should be stable.- Implementation Specification:
- This implementation will allocate, in the stable case, a further support array as large
as
perm
(note that the stable version is slightly faster).
