it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.doubles.DoubleArrays

public final class DoubleArrays
extends Object

A class providing static methods and objects that do useful things with type-specific arrays.

In particular, the forceCapacity(), ensureCapacity(), grow(), trim() and setLength() methods allow to handle arrays much like array lists. This can be very useful when efficiency (or syntactic simplicity) reasons make array lists unsuitable.

Note that BinIO and TextIO contain several methods make it possible to load and save arrays of primitive types as sequences of elements in DataInput format (i.e., not as objects) or as sequences of lines of text.

Sorting

There are several sorting methods available. The main theme is that of letting you choose the sorting algorithm you prefer (i.e., trading stability of mergesort for no memory allocation in quicksort).

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 the ForkJoinPool 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. Some algorithms also provide an explicit indirect sorting facility, which makes it possible to sort an array using the values in another array as comparator.

However, if you wish to let the implementation choose an algorithm for you, both stableSort(double[], int, int) and unstableSort(double[], int, int) methods are available, which dynamically chooses an algorithm based on unspecified criteria (but most likely stability, array size, and array element type).

All comparison-based algorithm have an implementation based on a type-specific comparator.

As a general rule, sequential radix sort is significantly faster than quicksort or mergesort, in particular on random-looking data. In the parallel case, up to a few cores parallel radix sort is still the fastest, but at some point quicksort exploits parallelism better.

If you are fine with not knowing exactly which algorithm will be run (in particular, not knowing exactly whether a support array will be allocated), the dual-pivot parallel sorts in Arrays are about 50% faster than the classical single-pivot implementation used here.

In any case, if sorting time is important I suggest that you benchmark your sorting load with your data distribution and on your architecture.

Sorts an array according to the natural ascending order using a parallel indirect quicksort.

The sorting algorithm is a tuned quicksort adapted from Jon L. Bentley and M. Douglas McIlroy, “Engineering a Sort Function”, Software: Practice and Experience, 23(11), pages 1249−1265, 1993.

This method implement an indirect sort. The elements of perm (which must be exactly the numbers in the interval [0..perm.length)) will be permuted so that x[perm[i]] ≤ x[perm[i + 1]].

Parameters:

perm - a permutation array indexing x.

stabilize

public static void stabilize(int[] perm,
 double[] x,
 int from,
 int to)

Stabilizes a permutation.

This method can be used to stabilize the permutation generated by an indirect sorting, assuming that initially the permutation array was in ascending order (e.g., the identity, as usually happens). This method scans the permutation, and for each non-singleton block of elements with the same associated values in x, permutes them in ascending order. The resulting permutation corresponds to a stable sort.

Usually combining an unstable indirect sort and this method is more efficient than using a stable sort, as most stable sort algorithms require a support array.

More precisely, assuming that x[perm[i]] ≤ x[perm[i + 1]], after stabilization we will also have that x[perm[i]] = x[perm[i + 1]] implies perm[i] ≤ perm[i + 1].

Parameters:

perm - a permutation array indexing x so that it is sorted.

x - the sorted array to be stabilized.

from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be stabilized.

to - the index of the last element (exclusive) to be stabilized.

Searches a range of the specified array for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The range must be sorted prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined.

from - the index of the first element (inclusive) to be searched.

to - the index of the last element (exclusive) to be searched.

key - the value to be searched for.

Returns:
