对于频繁读取的数据,使用哈希映射构建的稀疏阵列效率非常低。最高效的实现使用Trie,允许访问段分布的单个向量。
Trie可以通过只执行只读两个数组索引来计算表中是否存在元素,以获取元素存储的有效位置,或者知道其是否不在基础存储中。
它还可以在备份存储中为稀疏数组的默认值提供默认位置,这样您就不需要对返回的索引进行任何测试,因为Trie保证所有可能的源索引将至少映射到备份存储中的默认位置(经常存储零、空字符串或空对象)。
此外,Java Hashmaps只能对对象进行索引,并且为每个哈希源索引创建一个整数对象(每次读取都需要创建该对象,而不仅仅是写入)在内存操作方面代价高昂,因为它会给垃圾收集器带来压力。
我真的希望JRE包含一个IntegerTrieMap<对象>作为慢速HashMap的默认实现<整数,对象>或LongTrieMap<对象>作为更慢的HashMap的默认实现<长,对象>。。。但事实并非如此。
你可能想知道什么是Trie?
它只是一个小整数数组(范围小于矩阵的整个坐标范围),允许将坐标映射到向量中的整数位置。
例如,假设您想要一个仅包含几个非零值的1024*1024矩阵。与其将该矩阵存储在包含1024*1024个元素(超过100万个)的数组中,不如将其拆分为大小为16*16的子范围,并且只需要64*64这样的子范围。
在这种情况下,Trie索引将只包含64*64个整数(4096),并且将至少有16*16个数据元素(包含默认的零或稀疏矩阵中最常见的子范围)。
matrix[i][j]
,您将使用如下语法:
trie.values[trie.subrangePositions[(i & ~15) + (j >> 4)] +
((i & 15) << 4) + (j & 15)]

注意:此代码不完整,因为它处理单个矩阵大小,并且其压缩程序仅限于检测公共子范围,而不交错它们。

如果您想支持交错,基本上您将首先将现有值分成两个大小大致相同的值(两个值都是最小子范围大小的倍数,第一个子集可能比第二个子集多一个子范围),然后在所有连续位置扫描较大的值以找到匹配的交错;然后您将尝试匹配这些值。然后通过将子集分成两半(也是最小子范围大小的倍数)递归循环,然后再次扫描以匹配这些子集(这会将子集的数量乘以2:您必须想一想,与现有值的大小相比,子范围位置索引的两倍大小是否值得,以查看它是否提供了有效的压缩(如果没有,您就到此为止:您已经直接从交错压缩过程中找到了最佳子范围大小).在这种情况下,在压实过程中,子范围大小将是可变的。

无论如何,trie的所有原则都在那里实施:
-
使用单个向量而不是双索引数组(每个数组单独分配)表示矩阵总是更快(内存更紧凑,意味着更好的局部性)。这一改进在以下方面是显而易见的:
double getAt(int, int)
方法
-
-
通过检测公共子范围,可以将初始大矩阵自动转换为更紧凑的矩阵。然后,一个典型的实现将包含一个方法,例如
紧凑的
-
公共子范围在数据中使用公共存储,因此此共享数据必须是只读的。如果必须在不更改矩阵其余部分的情况下更改单个值,则必须首先确保该值在矩阵中仅被引用一次
子范围位置
values
向量,然后将此新子范围的位置存储到
指数
请注意,通用Colt库虽然非常好,但在处理稀疏矩阵时却不太好,因为它使用了哈希(或行压缩)技术,目前还不支持尝试,尽管它是一种非常好的优化,既节省空间,也节省空间
节省时间,特别是对于最频繁的getAt()操作。
即使是此处描述的用于trys的setAt()操作也可以节省大量时间(此处采用的方法是,设置后不进行自动压缩,这仍然可以根据需求和估计的时间来实现,压缩仍将以时间为代价节省大量存储空间):节省的时间与子范围中的单元数成正比,节省的空间与每个子范围中的单元数成反比。如果要使用子范围大小,每个子范围的单元数是2D矩阵中单元总数的平方根(使用3D矩阵时,它将是一个立方根),则最好进行压缩。
我只是希望Colt在将来会被更新,以实现另一个使用Tries的实现(即TrieSparseMatrix,而不仅仅是HashSparseMatrix和RCSparseMatrix)。这些想法都在本文中。
Trove实现(基于int->int映射)也基于类似于Colt的HashedSparseMatrix的散列技术,即它们具有相同的不便。尝试的速度会快得多,只需消耗少量的额外空间(但在延迟的时间内,使用最终的compact()离子操作对结果矩阵/trie进行操作,可以优化此空间,甚至比Trove和Colt更好)。
注意:这个Trie实现绑定到一个特定的本机类型(这里是double)。这是自愿的,因为使用装箱类型的泛型实现具有巨大的空间开销(并且访问时间要慢得多)。在这里,它只使用double的原生一维数组,而不是泛型向量。但它当然也有可能派生出一个通用的实现来尝试。。。不幸的是,Java仍然不允许编写具有本机类型所有优点的真正通用类,除非编写多个实现(针对通用对象类型或每个本机类型),并通过类型工厂为所有这些操作提供服务。该语言应该能够自动实例化本机实现并自动构建工厂(目前,即使在Java 7中,情况也不是这样,在这一点上,.Net对于与本机类型一样快的真正泛型类型仍然保持其优势)。
