vector-quicksort: Fast and flexible quicksort implementation for mutable vectors

[ algorithms, apache, library ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

Quicksort implementation developed with performance in mind. Has good default single-threaded sort and provides parallelised versions that are actually faster than the single-threaded version. Users can define new parallelisation methods.

Good starting point:

import Data.Vector.Algorithms.Quicksort qualified as Quick

Then call as

Quick.sort xs

Synopsis

This package features reasonable sort function that is a good default for sorting mutable vectors using well-known quicksort algorithm. During development one of the goals was making it perform on par with C++’s std::sort, i.e. fast.

While providing reasonably good single-threaded default sorting, the algorithm in this package is also parallelisable and can provide ways to run on multiple cores using either threads or sparks, so bigger vectors can be sorted even faster.

Algorithm details

Technically it’s an introsort, i.e. pathological O(N^2) quicksort case will get delegated to heapsort when recursion gets too deep, thus making algorithm reliably O(N * log(N)).

Benchmarks

The benchmark is to generate some random arrays of different length and sort them. For each array size N two versions are generated: one from range [0, N] (with few duplicates below), another from [0, N / 1000] (with many duplicates below) to introduce duplicates. And there’s one reasonably big array (around 40,000 elements) with lots of duplicates that I managed to come by in the real world under Sorting fuzzy matching scores vector that comes from test.txt file in this repository. with

Test setup: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor, Intel i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz, GHC 9.10.1.

The default sort exported in Data.Vector.Algorithms.Quicksort is Sequential and Median3or5.

NB vector-algorithms benchmark is not included below (but it’s still there and will run for you locally) because it doesn’t specialise by default and in that case takes around 100 times more time than C++. That’s not representative, when this library doesn’t specialise it suffers similar slowdown (please refer to the docs on how to alleviate that).
