| <h1> <a name="Google_Sparsehash_Package"></a>Google Sparsehash Package </h1> |
| <br> |
| |
| <p>The Google sparsehash package consists of two hashtable |
| implementations: <i>sparse</i>, which is designed to be very space |
| efficient, and <i>dense</i>, which is designed to be very time |
| efficient. For each one, the package provides both a hash-map and a |
| hash-set, to mirror the classes in the common STL implementation.</p> |
| |
| <p>Documentation on how to use these classes:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <A HREF="sparse_hash_map.html">sparse_hash_map</A> |
| <li> <A HREF="sparse_hash_set.html">sparse_hash_set</A> |
| <li> <A HREF="dense_hash_map.html">dense_hash_map</A> |
| <li> <A HREF="dense_hash_set.html">dense_hash_set</A> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>In addition to the hash-map (and hash-set) classes, there's also a |
| lower-level class that implements a "sparse" array. This class can be |
| useful in its own right; consider using it when you'd normally use a |
| <code>sparse_hash_map</code>, but your keys are all small-ish |
| integers.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> <A HREF="sparsetable.html">sparsetable</A> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>There is also a doc explaining the <A |
| HREF="implementation.html">implementation details</A> of these |
| classes, for those who are curious. And finally, you can see some |
| <A HREF="performance.html">performance comparisons</A>, both between |
| the various classes here, but also between these implementations and |
| other standard hashtable implementations.</p> |
