| | Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows: |
| | |
| | - We use 0-based indexing. This makes the relationship between the |
| | index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less |
| | obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing. |
| | |
| | - Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest. |
| | |
| | These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list |
| | without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort() |
| | maintains the heap invariant! |

| | [explanation by François Pinard] |
| | |
| | Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for |
| | all k, counting elements from 0. For the sake of comparison, |
| | non-existing elements are considered to be infinite. The interesting |
| | property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element. |
| | |
| | The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory |
| | representation for a tournament. The numbers below are `k', not a[k]: |
| | |
| | 0 |
| | |
| | 1 2 |
| | |
| | 3 4 5 6 |
| | |
| | 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
| | |
| | 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 |
| | |
| | |
| | In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'. In |
| | a usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner |
| | over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree |
| | to see all opponents s/he had. However, in many computer applications |
| | of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner. |
| | To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to |
| | replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes |
| | that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items, |
| | but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells. |
| | |
| | If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly |
| | the overall winner. The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and |
| | find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the |
| | diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down |
| | the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established. |
| | This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree. |
| | By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort. |
| | |
| | A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new |
| | items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are |
| | not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted. This is |
| | especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all |
| | incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled |
| | time. When an event schedule other events for execution, they are |
| | scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap. So, a |
| | heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I |
| | used for my MIDI sequencer :-). |
| | |
| | Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively |
| | studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy, |
| | the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different |
| | than the average case. However, there are other representations which |
| | are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible. |
| | |
| | Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts. You most probably all |
| | know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted |
| | sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory), |
| | followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often |
| | very cleverly organised[1]. It is very important that the initial |
| | sort produces the longest runs possible. Tournaments are a good way |
| | to that. If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you |
| | replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll |
| | produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input, |
| | and much better for input fuzzily ordered. |
| | |
| | Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which |
| | may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over |
| | the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the |
| | heap decreases. The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately |
| | for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the |
| | same rate the first heap is melting. When the first heap completely |
| | vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run. Clever and quite |
| | effective! |
| | |
| | In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know. I use them in |
| | a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module |
| | around. :-) |
| | |
| | -------------------- |
| | [1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are |
| | more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking |
| | capabilities of the disks. On devices which cannot seek, like big |
| | tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very |
| | clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the |
| | most effective possible (that is, will best participate at |
| | "progressing" the merge). Some tapes were even able to read |
| | backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time. |
| | Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch! |
| | From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-) |
