[Bug 1553054] New: Review Request: R-bit - A class for vectors of 1-bit booleans

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553054 Bug ID: 1553054 Summary: Review Request: R-bit - A class for vectors of 1-bit booleans Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Assignee: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org Reporter: quantum.analyst(a)gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: package-review(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Spec URL: https://qulogic.fedorapeople.org//R-bit.spec SRPM URL: https://qulogic.fedorapeople.org//R-bit-1.1.12-1.fc27.src.rpm Description: bitmapped vectors of booleans (no NAs), coercion from and to logicals, integers and integer subscripts; fast boolean operators and fast summary statistics. With 'bit' vectors you can store true binary booleans {FALSE,TRUE} at the expense of 1 bit only, on a 32 bit architecture this means factor 32 less RAM and ~ factor 32 more speed on boolean operations. Due to overhead of R calls, actual speed gain depends on the size of the vector: expect gains for vectors of size > 10000 elements. Even for one-time boolean operations it can pay-off to convert to bit, the pay-off is obvious, when such components are used more than once. Reading from and writing to bit is approximately as fast as accessing standard logicals - mostly due to R's time for memory allocation. The package allows to work with pre-allocated memory for return values by calling .Call() directly: when evaluating the speed of C-access with pre-allocated vector memory, coping from bit to logical requires only 70% of the time for copying from logical to logical; and copying from logical to bit comes at a performance penalty of 150%. the package now contains further classes for representing logical selections: 'bitwhich' for very skewed selections and 'ri' for selecting ranges of values for chunked processing. All three index classes can be used for subsetting 'ff' objects (ff-2.1-0 and higher). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
