Overview
Provides a way to store very large collections of email addresses (100,000+ addresses) and efficiently check whether a specific address is contained in a collection. The collection can be created programmatically, or through a pluggable persistence mechanism.
Functionality
Maintains large collections of email addresses.
efficiently checks whether an address is in the collection or not.
In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions between the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will share processor time, in what order. It manages limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn t kept waiting any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks.
Developers use algorithms and data structures every day of their working lives. Having a good under-standing of these algorithms and knowledge of when to apply them is essential to producing softwarethat not only works correctly, but also performs efficiently.
This book aims to explain those algorithms and data structures most commonly encountered in day-to-day software development, while remaining at all times practical, concise, and to the point, with little orno verbiage to distract from the core concepts and examples.
This paper presents an interactive technique that
produces static hairstyles by generating individual hair strands
of the desired shape and color, subject to the presence of gravity
and collisions. A variety of hairstyles can be generated by
adjusting the wisp parameters, while the deformation is solved
efficiently, accounting for the effects of gravity and collisions.
Wisps are generated employing statistical approaches. As for
hair deformation, we propose a method which is based on
physical simulation concepts but is simplified to efficiently
solve the static shape of hair. On top of the statistical wisp
model and the deformation solver, a constraint-based styler
is proposed to model artificial features that oppose the natural
flow of hair under gravity and hair elasticity, such as a hairpin.
Our technique spans a wider range of human hairstyles than
previously proposed methods, and the styles generated by this
technique are fairly realistic.
Anyone who interacts with today s modern databases needs to know SQL (Structured Query Language), the standard language for generating, manipulating, and retrieving database information. In recent years, the dramatic rise in the popularity of relational databases and multi-user databases has fueled a healthy demand for application developers and others who can write SQL code efficiently and correctly.
Welcome to Beginning Algorithms, a step-by-step introduction to computing algorithms for the real world.
Developers use algorithms and data structures every day of their working lives. Having a good understanding
of these algorithms and knowledge of when to apply them is essential to producing software
that not only works correctly, but also performs efficiently.
This book aims to explain those algorithms and data structures most commonly encountered in day-today
software development, while remaining at all times practical, concise, and to the point, with little or
no verbiage to distract from the core concepts and examples.
For developers using FPGAs for the
implementation of floating-point DSP
functions, one key challenge is how to
decompose the computation algorithm
into sequences of parallel hardware
processes while efficiently managing data flow through the parallel pipelines of these processes.
Inside the C++ Object Model
Inside the C++ Object Model focuses on the underlying mechanisms that support object-oriented programming within C++: constructor semantics, temporary generation, support for encapsulation, inheritance, and "the virtuals"-virtual functions and virtual inheritance. This book shows how your understanding the underlying implementation models can help you code more efficiently and with greater confidence. Lippman dispells the misinformation and myths about the overhead and complexity associated with C++, while pointing out areas in which costs and trade offs, sometimes hidden, do exist. He then explains how the various implementation models arose, points out areas in which they are likely to evolve, and why they are what they are. He covers the semantic implications of the C++ object model and how that model affects your programs.
With the advances in the semiconductor and communication industries, it has become increasingly
important for electrical engineers to develop a good understanding of microelectronics.
This book addresses the need for a text that teaches microelectronics from a modern and intuitive
perspective. Guided by my industrial, research, and academic experience, I have chosen
the topics, the order, and the depth and breadth so as to efficiently impart analysis and design
principles that the students will find useful as they enter the industry or graduate school.
