为什么实现二进制搜索比std :: binary_search()慢得多?

在我检测到std :: upper_bound之前,我实现了自己的binarySearch版本来确定所需元素的索引。实现有效,但与线性搜索相比,我的binarySearch只有一点点快。随着搜索区域的增长,我的实现和std lib之间的因素也会增加。

为了快速自我测试,我在本文末尾插入了完整的代码。快速浏览一下我的searchBinary实现:

template<typename T> T searchBinary(const std::vector<std::vector<T> > vectorList, const std::vector<T> compareVector) {
    long iteration = 0;
    size_t leftIndex = 0;
    size_t rightIndex = vectorList.size()-1;
    size_t pos;

    while (leftIndex <= rightIndex) {
        iteration++;
        pos = (leftIndex + rightIndex) / 2;

        if (compareVector < vectorList[pos]) {
            rightIndex = pos - 1;
        } else if (compareVector > vectorList[pos]) {
            leftIndex = pos + 1;
        } else {
            cout << "Match at binary search after " << iteration << " iterations.\n";
            return pos;
        }
    }

    cout << "No match at binary search after " << iteration << " iterations.\n";
    return -1;
}

这就是我弄乱运行时的原因:

void searchBinaryOwn_messure(std::vector<std::vector<u_char> > vectorList, std::vector<u_char> compareVector) {
    struct timeval begin, end;
    long seconds, useconds;

    if (gettimeofday(&begin,(struct timezone *)0)) {
        fprintf(stderr, "can not get time\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    searchBinary(vectorList, compareVector);

    if (gettimeofday(&end,(struct timezone *)0)) {
        fprintf(stderr, "can not get time\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    seconds = end.tv_sec - begin.tv_sec;
    useconds = end.tv_usec - begin.tv_usec;
    if(useconds < 0) {
        useconds += 1000000;
        seconds--;
    }

    printf("searchBinaryOwn(): %ld sec %ld usec\n\n", seconds, useconds);
    return;
}

不要在这里看到任何问题。如果我用8 000运行程序  000元素:

  • searchLinear()需要~3,7秒
  • searchBinaryOwn()需要~2,8秒
  • searchBinaryStd()需要~0,0007sec

那么为什么两个二进制搜索之间存在如此巨大的差异?(用gcc 4.8.2编译) 注意:因为&#34; cout ...&#34;需要大约30usec,std :: binarySearch实际上比显示的更快

3 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

  1. 将您的功能原型更改为
  2. template<typename T> T searchBinary(const std::vector<std::vector<T> >& vectorList, const std::vector<T>& compareVector) {

    即。通过常量引用而不是通过值传递。这将避免两个矢量副本。

    1. 您可以在每次迭代时使用单个条件测试<进行重构。 (您还需要更改while条件)。

    2. iteration需要long吗?可以不短吗?收敛的最坏情况是什么?

    3. 第1点是重要的一点。 2非常重要,3是微观优化,在某些系统上根本不会产生任何影响。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

向量按值传递给searchBinary,因此将创建需要时间的副本。

如果您将签名更改为

template<typename T> T searchBinary(const std::vector<std::vector<T> >& vectorList, const std::vector<T>& compareVector)

它与标准实施一样快:http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/qozapTfn3MrGv5JA

答案 2 :(得分:0)

这个template<typename T> T searchBinary(const std::vector<std::vector<T> > vectorList, const std::vector<T> compareVector)制作输入向量的副本(当你按值传递时),它是时间线性的。所以你得到的结果实际上是预期的。

顺便说一下。一个标志性的答案可能是标准库是由相当优秀的开发人员编写的,预计它几乎不会出类拔萃。
