algorithm - Compressing sequence of unique sorted numbers -

-

this question has answer here:

i project working on, have sequence of numbers (around 2 billion). each number 4 bytes , unique. numbers sorted. goal read them ram asap in uncompressed format. don't care hdd space.

if store them uncompressed, need 2 billion*4 bytes = 8gb. take around 100 seconds read. can store data sequence of bits , require 2 billion/8 = 250mb. take around 3 seconds read.

i need read , uncompress them in 0.1-0.5 seconds (if possible) using normal hdd. don't care how long take compress data care how long takes decompress them , need done in few milliseconds.

the randomness of numbers not known.

the question is: kind of compression algorithm can compress numbers around 20-30mb decompression time of 100-200 milliseconds using i3-i5 cpu?

edit: maximum number in sequence 2 billion. that's why can store on bit array size of 250mb. size of sequence not 2 billion. can contain 1 2.000.000.000 numbers.

here 2 possible approaches:

  1. the asker proposes storing sequence of numbers bit string. e.g.: if number i in sequence, ith bit of bit string set one, otherwise it's zero. natural first thing try apply standard compression algorithms bit string , see happens.

  2. from phrasing of question, seems can treat numbers in sequence 4-byte ints. so, sequence stored represents around 2*109 out of possible 232 ints. means average difference between 2 successive numbers can't more ~2.147 = 232 / (2*109). so, maybe computing sequence of differences , try compressing that. since expect large fraction of successive differences going 1's , 2's, suspect sequence might compressible.

yii2 - Yii 2 Running a Cron in the basic template -

-
i have seen instructions on running cron in advanced template, cant figure out how on basic template. have following controller in basic controllers folder. <?php namespace app\controllers; use yii\console\controller; /** * cron controller */ class croncontroller extends controller { public function actionindex() { echo "cron service runnning"; } public function actionmail($to) { echo "sending mail " . $to; } } i have navigated root of application , tried these comands yii cron php yii cron im getting unknown comand "cron" i know old question failed find actual answer this. if @ code yii exec file you'll notice requires /common/config/aliases.php file console/config/main.php. can naturally change these or copy on these advanced template. hope solves problem wanting same thing.

asp.net - 'System.Web.HttpContext' does not contain a definition for 'GetOwinContext' Mystery -

i realize question might seem trivial some, it's these types of things find myself fighting quite bit , want make sense of despite seeming losing battle in .net (for me anyway). so, if following: using system.web; ... applicationuser user = system.web.httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); that produces error in title , red getowincontext() , error cannot resolve symbol 'getowincontext()' however, if following (remove system.web in front of httpcontext ), works expected (or @ least no errors): using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermanager<applicationusermanager>().findbyid(system.web.httpcontext.user.identity.getuserid()); however, if (same line that's working using system.web commented out): //using system.web; ... applicationuser user = httpcontext.getowincontext().getusermana...

mercurial graft feature, can it copy? -

-
there new feature in mercurial 3, called 'graft' (graft local). job of moving change-set different branch. is there way "copy" change-set branch? i interested in in moving stuff qa branch production branch, still need code reside in qa. want copy. found , have tried few things, maybe it'll become clear more tinkering , reading... does have better way of 'cherry picking' change-sets move cross branch (or trunk)??? graft copies changesets, doesn't move them. hg graft (emphasis mine): this command uses mercurial's merge logic copy individual changes other branches without merging branches in history graph. known 'backporting' or 'cherry-picking' . default, graft copy user, date, , description source changesets.
