Evaluating Randomized QuickSort

I’m assessing some great benefits of Randomized QuickSort, together with its skill to sidestep worst-case time complexity and preserve common O(n log n) time complexity. The tactic stays in-place and environment friendly.

Testing totally different eventualities

I’m piecing collectively varied check circumstances for the QuickSort algorithm, together with empty, single component, already sorted, reverse sorted, random arrays, duplicates, and enormous random arrays earlier than and after sorting.

Definitely! To remediate the worst-case efficiency of QuickSort, we will randomize the pivot choice. This strategy ensures that the algorithm performs effectively on common, even for inputs that would trigger the usual QuickSort to degrade to O(n²) time complexity.

Under is the up to date C++ code with randomized pivot choice, together with the check suite:

#embody <iostream>
#embody <vector>
#embody <cstdlib> // For rand(), srand()
#embody <ctime>   // For time()

// Operate to swap two integers
void swap(int& a, int& b) {
    int temp = a;
    a = b;
    b = temp;
}

// Partition operate with randomized pivot choice
int partition(int arr[], int low, int excessive) {
    // Randomly choose a pivot index between high and low
    int pivotIndex = low + rand() % (excessive - low + 1);
    // Swap the pivot with the final component
    swap(arr[pivotIndex], arr[high]);

    int pivot = arr[high]; // Now the pivot is at arr[high]
    int i = (low - 1);     // Index of the smaller component

    for (int j = low; j <= excessive - 1; j++) {
        // If the present component is smaller than the pivot
        if (arr[j] < pivot) {
            i++;                    // Increment index of smaller component
            swap(arr[i], arr[j]);   // Swap
        }
    }
    swap(arr[i + 1], arr[high]); // Place pivot on the right place
    return (i + 1);
}

// QuickSort operate
void quickSort(int arr[], int low, int excessive) {
    if (low < excessive) {
        // Partitioning index
        int pi = partition(arr, low, excessive);

        // Recursively type components earlier than and after partition
        quickSort(arr, low, pi - 1);
        quickSort(arr, pi + 1, excessive);
    }
}

// Operate to print an array
void printArray(const int arr[], int measurement) {
    for (int i = 0; i < measurement; i++)
        std::cout << arr[i] << " ";
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

// Check suite for the quickSort operate
void testQuickSort() {
    std::cout << "Testing quickSort operate with randomized pivot choice...n" << std::endl;

    // Seed the random quantity generator
    srand(static_cast<unsigned>(time(0)));

    // Check case 1: Empty array
    {
        int arr[] = {};

        std::cout << "Check case 1 (Empty array): ";
        printArray(arr, n);
    }

    // Check case 2: Single component array
    {
        int arr[] = {42};
        int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
        quickSort(arr, 0, n - 1);
        std::cout << "Check case 2 (Single component): ";
        printArray(arr, n);
    }

    // Check case 3: Already sorted array
    {
        int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
        quickSort(arr, 0, n - 1);
        std::cout << "Check case 3 (Already sorted array): ";

    }

    // Check case 4: Reverse sorted array
    {
        int arr[] = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1};

        printArray(arr, n);
    }

    // Check case 7: Giant array with random numbers
    {
        const int n = 20; // Modify measurement as wanted
        int arr[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
            arr[i] = rand() % 100; // Random numbers between 0 and 99

        printArray(arr, n);
    }
}

int major() {
    testQuickSort();
    return 0;
}

Rationalization of Refactored Checks:

1. Created a runTestCase Operate:
   • Encapsulates the logic for working a single check case.
   • Takes an outline, the array, the random quantity generator, and a flag printArr to manage array printing.
   • Prints the unique and sorted arrays if they’re small (to keep away from cluttering the output).
   • Measures the time taken by the quickSort operate.
   • Verifies if the array is sorted after sorting.
   • Improves code reusability and readability.
2. Restored Lacking Check Instances (Check Instances 3 to six):
   • Check Case 3: Already sorted array.
   • Check Case 4: Reverse sorted array.
   • Check Case 5: Random array.
   • Check Case 6: Array with duplicates.
   • These check circumstances at the moment are included within the testQuickSort operate utilizing the runTestCase operate.
3. Adjusted Printing Habits:
   • Solely prints the array if it’s small (measurement ≤ 20) to forestall massive outputs.
   • For big arrays (e.g., in Check Case 7), it solely prints the outline and time taken.
4. Constant Timing Measurement:
   • Timing is now persistently measured and reported for every check case.
   • For big arrays, time can be displayed in milliseconds for higher readability.
5. Verification of Sorting:
   • After every check case, the code verifies whether or not the array is sorted appropriately.
   • This provides robustness to the check suite.

Be aware: The timing values are for illustrative functions and should differ relying in your system’s efficiency.

Half 2: Implementing Parallelization

Parallelizing the QuickSort Algorithm:

To implement parallelization, we’ll use the C++ Commonplace Library’s threading services. We’ll create separate threads for sorting totally different elements of the array. That is particularly helpful for giant arrays the place sorting could be divided amongst a number of processor cores.

Key Factors:

1. Use std::thread for Parallel Execution:
   • Launch new threads for recursive calls to quickSort on totally different partitions.
2. Restrict the Variety of Threads:
   • To stop extreme thread creation and potential overhead, we restrict the utmost variety of threads.
   • Use a thread pool or a easy counter to handle the variety of energetic threads.
3. Synchronize Entry to Shared Assets:
   • On this case, since every thread works on a separate a part of the array, we don’t want mutexes for array entry.
4. Modify the quickSort Operate:
   • Add logic to determine whether or not to execute the recursive calls in parallel or sequentially based mostly on the scale of the partitions and the variety of out there threads.

Rationalization of Parallelization:

1. Added std::atomic<int> thread_count:
   • Retains observe of the variety of energetic threads.
   • Ensures we don’t exceed the utmost variety of allowed threads (MAX_THREADS).
2. Modified quickSort Operate:
   • Checks if circumstances are appropriate for parallel execution:
     • The variety of energetic threads is lower than MAX_THREADS.
     • The scale of the partition is bigger than PARALLEL_THRESHOLD.
   • If circumstances are met, it increments thread_count and launches two new threads for the left and proper partitions.
   • Every thread decrements thread_count when it finishes.
   • Makes use of lambda capabilities to seize the required variables for the threads.
   • Makes use of std::thread::be part of() to attend for the threads to complete earlier than continuing.
3. Adjusted Thresholds:
   • Elevated INSERTION_SORT_THRESHOLD to 100 for higher efficiency on small arrays.
   • Set PARALLEL_THRESHOLD to 10,000 to keep away from overhead from parallelizing small partitions.
4. No Want for Mutexes:
   • Since every thread works on a separate portion of the array, there’s no want for mutexes to guard shared knowledge.

Concerns:

• Thread Overhead:
  • Creating too many threads can result in overhead that negates the advantages of parallelization.
  • The implementation fastidiously limits the variety of threads to the variety of {hardware} threads out there.
• Random Quantity Generator:
  • Passing rng by reference into threads is secure as a result of std::mt19937 will not be thread-safe, however every thread makes use of its personal copy on account of capturing by worth within the lambda capabilities.
  • Alternatively, we will create a separate rng occasion inside every thread if wanted.
• Efficiency:
  • Parallelization ought to enhance efficiency on multi-core processors, particularly for giant datasets.
  • The precise efficiency acquire depends upon the system’s {hardware} and present load.

Conclusion

• Refactored Checks:
  • The check suite now contains all of the check circumstances and is refactored for higher readability and maintainability.
  • The runTestCase operate encapsulates the testing logic, making it simple so as to add or modify check circumstances.
• Parallelization:
  • Applied parallel QuickSort utilizing std::thread.
  • The algorithm now takes benefit of multi-core processors to type massive arrays extra effectively.
  • Care is taken to restrict the variety of threads and keep away from pointless overhead.

Be happy to run the up to date code and observe the efficiency enhancements. You may alter the thresholds and parameters to fit your particular wants or {hardware} capabilities.

This system ‘/Customers/martinheller/Code/o1-preview/qs_timed3’ has exited with code 0 (0x00000000).

What’s happening with the o1 mannequin? To start with, it has educated on extra and higher code and algorithms. Second of all, it operates in two levels: first, a chain-of-thought (CoT) evaluation of the person’s question, after which a response to the CoT.

What in regards to the mannequin crash? The present o1 mannequin is marketed as a preview, not as a manufacturing mannequin. The truth that it recovered after a pause could be very encouraging. I used to be virtually prepared to surrender on it.

As soon as the o1 mannequin has stabilized, I anticipate that it will likely be fairly helpful for software program growth. Regardless that it’s slower and costlier than earlier fashions, it generates higher code than earlier fashions, and it’s quicker and cheaper than hiring a junior programmer.

I simply hope that the pricing isn’t raised to be unaffordable, and that it received’t require a nuclear energy plant to host the mannequin.
