| """Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue). |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Usage: |
| |
| heap = [] # creates an empty heap |
| heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap |
| item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap |
| item = heap[0] # smallest item on the heap without popping it |
| heapify(x) # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time |
| item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds |
| # new item; the heap size is unchanged |
| |
| 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 |
| an 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! :-) |
