Function Documentation

OutputIterator tlx::exclusive_scan ( InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  last,
OutputIterator  result,
init,
BinaryOperation  binary_op = BinaryOperation() 
)

Computes an exclusive prefix sum operation using binary_op the range [first, last), using init as the initial value, and writes the results to the range beginning at result.

The term "exclusive" means that the i-th input element is not included in the i-th sum.

Definition at line 30 of file exclusive_scan.hpp.

bool tlx::is_sorted_cmp ( ForwardIterator  first,
ForwardIterator  last,
Comparator  cmp 
)

Checks if a range is sorted using a three-way Comparator (with memcmp() semantics).

Definition at line 44 of file is_sorted_cmp.hpp.

ForwardIterator tlx::is_sorted_until_cmp ( ForwardIterator  first,
ForwardIterator  last,
Comparator  cmp 
)

Checks if a range is sorted using a three-way Comparator (with memcmp() semantics).

Returns an iterator to the first items not in order.

Definition at line 26 of file is_sorted_cmp.hpp.

OutputIterator tlx::merge_advance ( RandomAccessIterator1 &  begin1,
RandomAccessIterator1  end1,
RandomAccessIterator2 &  begin2,
RandomAccessIterator2  end2,
OutputIterator  target,
DiffType  max_size,
Comparator  comp 
)

Merge routine being able to merge only the max_size smallest elements.

The begin iterators are advanced accordingly, they might not reach end, in contrast to the usual variant. Static switch on whether to use the conditional-move variant.

Parameters
begin1Begin iterator of first sequence.
end1End iterator of first sequence.
begin2Begin iterator of second sequence.
end2End iterator of second sequence.
targetTarget begin iterator.
max_sizeMaximum number of elements to merge.
compComparator.
Returns
Output end iterator.

Definition at line 158 of file merge_advance.hpp.

OutputIterator tlx::merge_advance_movc ( RandomAccessIterator1 &  begin1,
RandomAccessIterator1  end1,
RandomAccessIterator2 &  begin2,
RandomAccessIterator2  end2,
OutputIterator  target,
DiffType  max_size,
Comparator  comp 
)

Merge routine being able to merge only the max_size smallest elements.

The begin iterators are advanced accordingly, they might not reach end, in contrast to the usual variant. Specially designed code should allow the compiler to generate conditional moves instead of branches.

Parameters
begin1Begin iterator of first sequence.
end1End iterator of first sequence.
begin2Begin iterator of second sequence.
end2End iterator of second sequence.
targetTarget begin iterator.
max_sizeMaximum number of elements to merge.
compComparator.
Returns
Output end iterator.

Definition at line 94 of file merge_advance.hpp.

OutputIterator tlx::merge_advance_usual ( RandomAccessIterator1 &  begin1,
RandomAccessIterator1  end1,
RandomAccessIterator2 &  begin2,
RandomAccessIterator2  end2,
OutputIterator  target,
DiffType  max_size,
Comparator  comp 
)

Merge routine being able to merge only the max_size smallest elements.

The begin iterators are advanced accordingly, they might not reach end, in contrast to the usual variant.

Parameters
begin1Begin iterator of first sequence.
end1End iterator of first sequence.
begin2Begin iterator of second sequence.
end2End iterator of second sequence.
targetTarget begin iterator.
max_sizeMaximum number of elements to merge.
compComparator.
Returns
Output end iterator.

Definition at line 47 of file merge_advance.hpp.

OutputIterator tlx::merge_combine ( InputIterator1  first1,
InputIterator1  last1,
InputIterator2  first2,
InputIterator2  last2,
OutputIterator  result,
Comparator  cmp = Comparator(),
Combine  combine = Combine() 
)

Merge two sorted ranges and add all items comparing equal.

Both ranges must be sorted using the three-way Comparator (with memcmp() semantics). Item pairs comparing equal (cmp returns 0) are combined together using a combine operator.

Warning
This method does not check if the ranges are sorted. Also make sure that the comparator does not work with unsigned types.

Definition at line 37 of file merge_combine.hpp.

void tlx::multisequence_partition ( const RanSeqs &  begin_seqs,
const RanSeqs &  end_seqs,
const RankType &  rank,
RankIterator  begin_offsets,
Comparator  comp = Comparator() 
)

Splits several sorted sequences at a certain global rank, resulting in a splitting point for each sequence.

The sequences are passed via a sequence of random-access iterator pairs, none of the sequences may be empty. If there are several equal elements across the split, the ones on the left side will be chosen from sequences with smaller number.

Parameters
begin_seqsBegin of the sequence of iterator pairs.
end_seqsEnd of the sequence of iterator pairs.
rankThe global rank to partition at.
begin_offsetsA random-access sequence begin where the result will be stored in. Each element of the sequence is an iterator that points to the first element on the greater part of the respective sequence.
compThe ordering functor, defaults to std::less<T>.

Definition at line 106 of file multisequence_partition.hpp.

ValueType tlx::multisequence_selection ( const RanSeqs &  begin_seqs,
const RanSeqs &  end_seqs,
const RankType &  rank,
RankType &  offset,
Comparator  comp = Comparator() 
)

Selects the element at a certain global rank from several sorted sequences.

The sequences are passed via a sequence of random-access iterator pairs, none of the sequences may be empty.

Parameters
begin_seqsBegin of the sequence of iterator pairs.
end_seqsEnd of the sequence of iterator pairs.
rankThe global rank to partition at.
offsetThe rank of the selected element in the global subsequence of elements equal to the selected element. If the selected element is unique, this number is 0.
compThe ordering functor, defaults to std::less.

void tlx::random_bipartition_shuffle ( RandomAccessIt  begin,
RandomAccessIt  end,
size_t  size_left_partition,
RandomBits &  urng 
)

Similar to std::shuffle, but only generates a random bi-partition.

In the result, the the left partition class is stored at positions 0 to size_left_partition-1 the right partition class is stored at positions size_left_partition to n where n = std::distance(begin, end).

Each element is moved to the left partition with probability (size_left_partition / n). There are no guarantees on the order WITHIN a partition (which makes this function considerable faster than std::shuffle especially if partition sizes are unbalanced). The runtime complexity is linear in the size of the smaller partition class.

Parameters
beginIterator to the begin of the data frame
endIterator to the end of the data frame
size_left_partitionNumber of elements to be put into the left partition: 0 <= size_left_partition <= n
urngRandom number generator compatible with STL interface, e.g. std::mt19937

)

Stable parallel multi-way merge routine.

Implemented either using OpenMP or with std::threads, depending on if compiled with -fopenmp or not. The OpenMP version uses the implicit thread pool, which is faster when using this method often.

Parameters
seqs_beginBegin iterator of iterator pair input sequence.
seqs_endEnd iterator of iterator pair input sequence.
targetBegin iterator out output sequence.
sizeMaximum size to merge.
compComparator.
mwmaMultiwayMergeAlgorithm set to use.
mwmsaMultiwayMergeSplittingAlgorithm to use.
num_threadsNumber of threads to use (defaults to all cores)
Template Parameters
StableStable merging incurs a performance penalty.
Returns
End iterator of output sequence.
