Timsort sorts the list in time linearithmic (proportional to a quantity times its logarithm) in the list's length (()), but has a space requirement linear in the length of the list (()). If large lists must be sorted at high speed for a given application, timsort is a better choice; however, if minimizing the memory footprint of the sorting ...
Performance profiler (sampled or instrumented) and analyzer, focused on game development. Proprietary Systemtap: Linux Programmable system tracing/probing tool; may be scripted to generate time- or performance-counter- or function-based profiles of the kernel and/or its userspace. Open source Valgrind: Linux, macOS, Solaris, Android
A space–time trade off can be applied to the problem of data storage. If data is stored uncompressed, it takes more space but access takes less time than if the data were stored compressed (since compressing the data reduces the amount of space it takes, but it takes time to run the decompression algorithm). Depending on the particular ...
Pyston is a variant of the Python runtime that uses just-in-time compilation to speed up the execution of Python programs. [153] Cinder is a performance-oriented fork of CPython 3.8 that contains a number of optimizations, including bytecode inline caching, eager evaluation of coroutines, a method-at-a-time JIT, and an experimental bytecode ...
A common goal of using JIT techniques is to reach or surpass the performance of static compilation, while maintaining the advantages of bytecode interpretation: Much of the "heavy lifting" of parsing the original source code and performing basic optimization is often handled at compile time, prior to deployment: compilation from bytecode to ...
As performance is part of the specification of a program – a program that is unusably slow is not fit for purpose: a video game with 60 Hz (frames-per-second) is acceptable, but 6 frames-per-second is unacceptably choppy – performance is a consideration from the start, to ensure that the system is able to deliver sufficient performance, and ...
Pandas (styled as pandas) is a software library written for the Python programming language for data manipulation and analysis.In particular, it offers data structures and operations for manipulating numerical tables and time series.
The dynamic array has performance similar to an array, with the addition of new operations to add and remove elements: Getting or setting the value at a particular index (constant time) Iterating over the elements in order (linear time, good cache performance) Inserting or deleting an element in the middle of the array (linear time)
