 | /* Cache friendly version of heapify() | 
 |    ----------------------------------- | 
 |  | 
 |    Build-up a heap in O(n) time by performing siftup() operations | 
 |    on nodes whose children are already heaps. | 
 |  | 
 |    The simplest way is to sift the nodes in reverse order from | 
 |    n//2-1 to 0 inclusive.  The downside is that children may be | 
 |    out of cache by the time their parent is reached. | 
 |  | 
 |    A better way is to not wait for the children to go out of cache. | 
 |    Once a sibling pair of child nodes have been sifted, immediately | 
 |    sift their parent node (while the children are still in cache). | 
 |  | 
 |    Both ways build child heaps before their parents, so both ways | 
 |    do the exact same number of comparisons and produce exactly | 
 |    the same heap.  The only difference is that the traversal | 
 |    order is optimized for cache efficiency. |

 | \n\ | 
 | Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for\n\ | 
 | all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,\n\ | 
 | non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting\n\ | 
 | property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | Usage:\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | heap = []            # creates an empty heap\n\ | 
 | heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap\n\ | 
 | item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap\n\ | 
 | item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it\n\ | 
 | heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time\n\ | 
 | item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds\n\ | 
 |                                # new item; the heap size is unchanged\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | - We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the\n\ | 
 |   index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less\n\ | 
 |   obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | - Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list\n\ | 
 | without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()\n\ | 
 | maintains the heap invariant!\n"); |

 | \n\ | 
 | Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for\n\ | 
 | all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,\n\ | 
 | non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  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.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 |                                    0\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 |                   1                                 2\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 |           3               4                5               6\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 |       7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 |     15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30\n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | \n\ | 
 | In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In\n\ | 
 | a 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"); |
