The Art of Computer Programming: Sorting and Searching: Sorting and Searching, Volume 3 Copertina rigida – 23 giugno 1998

4,7 su 5 stelle 61 voti

The bible of all fundamental algorithms and the work that taught many of today's software developers most of what they know about computer programming.

Byte, September 1995

I can't begin to tell you how many pleasurable hours of study and recreation they have afforded me! I have pored over them in cars, restaurants, at work, at home... and even at a Little League game when my son wasn't in the line-up.

–Charles Long

If you think you're a really good programmer... read [Knuth's] Art of Computer Programming... You should definitely send me a resume if you can read the whole thing.

–Bill Gates

It's always a pleasure when a problem is hard enough that you have to get the Knuths off the shelf. I find that merely opening one has a very useful terrorizing effect on computers.

–Jonathan Laventhol

The first revision of this third volume is the most comprehensive survey of classical computer techniques for sorting and searching. It extends the treatment of data structures in Volume 1 to consider both large and small databases and internal and external memories. The book contains a selection of carefully checked computer methods, with a quantitative analysis of their efficiency. Outstanding features of the second edition include a revised section on optimum sorting and new discussions of the theory of permutations and of universal hashing.

    5,0 su 5 stelle What's old is new again
    Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 novembre 2006
    Formato: Copertina rigidaAcquisto verificato
    First the basics: it's great, it provides wide-ranging and deep analysis, it shows many views and variants of each problem, and its bibliography is helpful, though not exhaustive. The historical notes, including sorts for drum storage, may seem quaint to modern readers. And sorting has been done, right? You just run a shell program or call a function, and tap into the best technology. Does it need to be done again?

    Yes, if you're on the edge of technology, it does need to be done again, and again, and again. That's because technology keeps expanding, and violating old assumptions as it does. Memories got big enough that the million-record sort is now a yawn, where it used to be a journal article. But, at the same time, processor clocks got 100-1000x ahead of memory speeds. All of a sudden, those drum-based algorithms are worth another look, because yesteryear's drum:memory ratios are a lot like today's memory:cache ratios of size and speed - and who doesn't want a 100x speedup? Parallel processing is moving from the supercomputing elite into laptops, causing more tremors in the ground rules. GPU and reconfigurable computing also open whole new realms of pitfalls as well as opportunities.

    Knuth points out that the analyses have beauty in themselves, for people with eyes to see it. His analyses also demonstrate techniques applicable way beyond the immediate discussion, too. Today, though, I have nasty problems in technologies that no one really knows how to handle very well. I have to go back and check all the assumptions again, since so many of them changed. If that's the kind of problem you have, too, then this is the place to start.

    5,0 su 5 stelle More approachable than you probably think. Try it.

    I can not make the claim that I have fully worked the exercises. Indeed, I have sadly barely touched them. However, I do feel like I learned something from this book every time I picked it up.

    The writing style remains much more approachable than you probably think it is. Specifically, even the heavy math sections are fun to read through as an interested programmer. Sure, it is intimidating in that I don't think I fully followed the thought process on many sections on my first read through. However, coming back and trying multiple times usually left me feeling like I at least understood what was being discussed. Even if I'm not quite sure, yet, that I could have hit on some of these ideas myself.

    The section at the end on searching on secondary keys is a true delight. Just plain fun to consider the different tricks that can be done with data.

    This was a gift and the recipient loved it. It came in with excellent condition and arrived in time. BTW the recipient has a job related to the content of the book and hopefully this book had some positive effects.
