QUESTION
I have a huge memory block (bit-vector) with size N bits within one memory page, consider N on average is 5000, i.e. 5k bits to store some flags information.
At a certain points in time (super-frequent - critical) I need to find the first bit set in this whole big bit-vector. Now I do it per-64-word, i.e. with help of __builtin_ctzll
). But when N grows and search algorithm cannot be improved, there can be some possibility to scale this search through the expansion of memory access width. This is the main problem in a few words
There is a single assembly instruction called BSF
that gives the position of the highest set bit (GCC's __builtin_ctzll()
).
So in x86-64 arch I can find the highest bit set cheaply in 64-bit words.
But what about scaling through memory width?
E.g. is there a way to do it efficiently with 128 / 256 / 512 -bit registers?
Basically I'm interested in some C API function to achieve this, but also want to know what this method is based on.
UPD: As for CPU, I'm interested for this optimization to support the following CPU lineups:
Intel Xeon E3-12XX, Intel Xeon E5-22XX/26XX/E56XX, Intel Core i3-5XX/4XXX/8XXX, Intel Core i5-7XX, Intel Celeron G18XX/G49XX (optional for Intel Atom N2600, Intel Celeron N2807, Cortex-A53/72)
P.S. In mentioned algorithm before the final bit scan I need to sum k (in average 20-40) N-bit vectors with CPU AND (the AND result is just a preparatory stage for the bit-scan). This is also desirable to do with memory width scaling (i.e. more efficiently than per 64bit-word AND)

PS length
should be divisible by 8 for max speed

I'm trying to replicate a report using RMarkdown/LaTeX. Is it possible to add a letterhead to the top of a page in a similar way to the image I've attached? Hoping to find a solution where I can have a letterhead with a logo in it (and where I can easily customise the text and color of the letterhead too).
TIA
I'm using the standard article

QUESTION
I'm using the rust-postgres crate to ingest data. This is a working example adding rows successfully:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-21 at 14:05I think the problem is a mismatch between your postgres schema and your Rust type: the error seems to say that your postgres type is timestamp
, while your rust type is DateTime
.
If you check the conversion table, DateTime
converts to a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
. The only types which convert to TIMESTAMP
are NaiveDateTime
and PrimitiveDateTime
.

QUESTION
I have an integer constant, lets say:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Feb-20 at 19:12int2bv
is expensive. There are many reasons for this, but bottom line the solver now has to negotiate between the theory of integers and bit-vectors, and the heuristics probably don't help much. Notice that to do a proper conversion the solver has to perform repeated divisions, which is quite costly. Furthermore, talking about bits of a mathematical integer doesn't make much sense to start with: What if it's a negative number? Do you assume some sort of a infinite-width 2's complement representation? Or is it some other mapping? All this makes it harder to reason with such conversions. And for a long time int2bv
was uninterpreted in z3 for this and similar reasons. You can find many posts regarding this on stack-overflow, for instance see here: Z3 : Questions About Z3 int2bv?
Your best bet would be to simply use bit-vectors to start with. If you're reasoning about machine arithmetic, why not model everything with bit-vectors to start with?
If you're stuck with the Int
type, my recommendation would be to simply stick to mod
function, making sure the second argument is a constant. This might avoid some of the complexity, but without looking at actual problems, it's hard to opine any further.
QUESTION
I'm getting started using Z3 with the C++ API, and I'm primarily interested in using its support for bit-vectors.
However, I'm completely stumped in trying to figure out how I can make use of bit-vector literals with expressions.
Here's the basics of what I'm trying to accomplish:

It comes with 6 overloadings, for all sorts of things you might start from. int
, unsigned
, int64_t
, uint64_t
, and even char const *
etc. In this case, you want the char const *
overloading, putting the value as a decimal string.
QUESTION
I would like to create a new data type in Rust on the "bit-level".
For example, a quadruple-precision float. I could create a structure that has two double-precision floats and arbitrarily increase the precision by splitting the quad into two doubles, but I don't want to do that (that's what I mean by on the "bit-level").
I thought about using a u8
-array or a bool
-array but in both cases, I waste 7 bits of memory (because also bool
is a byte large). I know there are several crates that implement something like bit-arrays or bit-vectors, but looking through their source code didn't help me to understand their implementation.
How would I create such a bit-array without wasting memory, and is this the way I would want to choose when implementing something like a quad-precision type?
I don't know how to implement new data types that don't use the basic types or are structures that combine the basic types, and I haven't been able to find a solution on the internet yet; maybe I'm not searching with the right keywords.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jan-07 at 02:30The question you are asking has no direct answer: Just like any other programming language, Rust has a basic set of rules for type layouts. This is due to the fact that (most) real-world CPUs can't address individual bits, need certain alignments when referencing memory, have rules regarding how pointer arithmetic works etc. etc.
For instance, if you create a type of just two bits, you'll still need an 8-bit byte to represent that type, because there is simply no way to address two individual bits on most CPU's opcodes; there is also no way to take the address of such a type because addressing works at least on the byte-level. More useful information regarding this can be found here, section 2, The Anatomy of a Type
. Be aware that the non-wasting bit-level type you are thinking about needs to fulfill all the rules mentioned there.
It's a perfectly reasonable approach to represent what you want to do e.g. either as a single, wrapped u128
and implement all arithmetic on top of that type. Another, more generic, approach would be to use a Vec
. You'll always do a relatively large amount of bit-masking, indirecting and such.
Having a look at rust_decimal
or similar crates might also be a good idea.
QUESTION
We have a table of bid prices and sizes of two buyers. Bid price p with size s means that the buyer is open to buy s number of product at price p. We have a table that contains a few columns (like timestamp, validity flag) together with these four columns:
- bid prices offered by the two buyers, pA and pB.
- bid sizes, sA and sB.
Our job is to add a new best size column (bS) to the table, that returns the size at the best price. If the two buyers have the same price then bS is equal to sA + sB, otherwise, we need to take the bid size of the buyer that offers the higher price.
An example table (ignoring columns that are neither prices nor sizes) with the desired output is below.

I am having problems getting hyperref
to work with my TeXLive installation. Here is a simple example:
ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jun-24 at 08:15The problem seems to be an old version of hyperref installed in your personal texmf tree: /Users/jcur002/Library/texmf/tex/latex/kranz/hyperref.sty
This package version conflicts with the other package files. Once this file is removed, the up-to-date version from the texlive tree should be used and the version mismatch solved.
QUESTION
For a random string generator, I thought it would be nice to use CharacterSet
as input type for the alphabet to use, since the pre-defined sets such as CharacterSet.lowercaseLetters
are obviously useful (even if they may contain more diverse character sets than you'd expect).
However, apparently you can only query character sets for membership, but not enumerate let alone index them. All we get is _.bitmapRepresentation
, a 8kb chunk of data with an indicator bit for every (?) character. But even if you peel out individual bits by index i
(which is less than nice, going through byte-oriented Data
), Character(UnicodeScalar(i))
does not give the correct letter. Which means that the format is somewhat obscure -- and, of course, it's not documented.
Of course we can iterate over all characters (per plane) but that is a bad idea, cost-wise: a 20-character set may require iterating over tens of thousands of characters. Speaking in CS terms: bit-vectors are a (very) bad implementation for sparse sets. Why they chose to make the trade-off in this way here, I have no idea.
Am I missing something here, or is CharacterSet
just another deadend in the Foundation
API?
ANSWER
Answered 2017-Apr-11 at 19:16By your definition, no, there is no "reasonable" way. That's just how NSCharacterSet stores it. It's optimized for testing membership, not enumerating all members.
Your loop can increment a counter over the codepoints, or it can shift the bits (one per codepoint), but either way you have to loop and test. The highest "Ll" character on my Mac is U+1D7CB (#120,779), so if you want to compute this list of characters at runtime, your code will have to loop at least that many times. See the Objective-C version of the documentation for details on how the bit vector is organized.
The good news is that this is fast. With unoptimized code on my 10-year-old Mac, it takes less than 1/10th of a second to find all 1,841 lowercaseLetters
. If that's still not fast enough, it's easy to hide the cost by doing it once, in the background, at startup time.
