2^25-1 worst case, 142 nodes, 115 split!

real 0m0.036s

user 0m0.030s

then 50:

2^50 worst case, 1826 nodes, 1443 splits

real 0m0.044s

user 0m0.062s

sys 0m0.000s

Now, lets really ramp it up so that we can see optimzation effects

n=2500! won't even care to list the numbers, no point!

Wait, we exceeded 3 minutes there (our weight size was just a guess, btw, might not actually ahve a value)

Oh, our memory bound was maxed out so it hit a loop ... it actually completed in less than a sec! God bless my processor :)

Lets bump it up to 5k,

Case n=5000 Total possible nodes in thie state space tree is 2^5000-1

Number of nodes placed in the priority queue: 35037

Number of nodes examined/split: 34942

real 0m2.810s

user 0m1.843s

sys 0m0.062s

Given that this is about the largest we can hope to achieve before INTMAX because a massive issue (we should really typedefine the container class), lets see what optimizations we can make to this code!

must do 1 -

move all the ITEM_MASSs to (other)

the ITEM_MASSs are now ITEM_TYPE, a def earlier on (we could have done typedef here too, of course)

real 0m2.928s

user 0m1.999s

sys 0m0.061s

Slight increase.

Bad things happen when we try to make it into floats, I just tired. floats can't be [] contents for an array ;p

Doing unsigned long for now.

goal 1 = stop ratio calculation and comparisons if at all possible!

real time shot up!

real 0m3.994s

user 0m2.390s

sys 0m0.046s

(that being said, timse don't seem to be consistent. CVS is storing our versions, lets plow on)

remove the comparator in the structcomparator

real 0m2.830s

user 0m2.030s

sys 0m0.015s

remove the printout of the items as inserted

real 0m1.423s

user 0m1.436s

sys 0m0.015s

remove the tracking of the item "number", we don't need to deal with it with this project.

after moved all unsigned ints to typedefs,

typedef float ITEM_MASS;

typedef long INDEX_TYPE;

and modified the printfs to handle floating !

real 0m1.591s

user 0m1.562s

sys 0m0.000s

inserting a float does :

acm2.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)':

acm2.cpp:410: error: no matching function for call to `backpack::putItem(

double, int, int)'

acm2.cpp:279: error: candidates are: void backpack::putItem(float, float)

make: *** [acm2] Error 1

(and it locks up if we have a decimal in seeked value)

ok we move onwards to remove weight,value calls and replace them with just weight

we also use notepad/sed to remove half the sample knapsack calls

we realize in doing this that we've actually got 7009 elements! modifiying appropraite values!

real 0m2.627s

user 0m2.624s

sys 0m0.000s

but now it uses all 17.

Lets try an appropriately high value instead of the 50000ish we're using now. Lets say, we want ...

600 elements of 7000, at avg value of 5000 3000000ish?

Case n=6998 Total possible nodes in thie state space tree is 2^6998-1

Number of nodes placed in the priority queue: 70797

Number of nodes examined/split: 69811

Totals: 114 509283.00 509283.00

then...

============================ KNAPSACK ONE ================================

Case n=6998 Total possible nodes in thie state space tree is 2^6998-1

Number of nodes placed in the priority queue: 108848

Number of nodes examined/split: 96391

Totals: 1002 5091283.00 5091283.00

real 0m9.526s

user 0m9.249s

sys 0m0.203s

I'm actually pretty happy with this. We havent tested a few conditions, but its time we got the file loading routine in

todo

1) when it doesnt work

2) when its already reached stop

3) float

For superincreasing sets, its INCREDIBLY easy to do

Sort it.

if (current value < pallete size), palletsize-current value, current_value on board.

repeat until end

=== loading file now

make input float ok

reverted to base type of non float --- making the stored value float did badthings to atoi / atof (they didnt work)

we could really move the pqueue to a queue --- although don't we want to push bigger items to the top to fill it up faster?
