A rope is a high performance replacement for Strings. The datastructure, described in detail in "Ropes: an Alternative to Strings", provides asymptotically better performance than both String and StringBuffer for common string modifications like prepend, append, delete, and insert. Like Strings, ropes are immutable and therefore well-suited for use in multi-threaded programming.
DCOPolis was originally developed to provide a testbed for comparing Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) algorithms in a sterile environment. It was the authors' opinion (along with many in the DCOP community) that existing metrics for comparing solution techniques did not adequately capture the many intricacies inherent in such a problem. A byproduct of this testbed is a framework in which a single representation of a DCOP problem can be solved by a multitude of different solution algorithms, either in simulation or deployed on a live (possibly ad-hoc) network.
Welcome to TopCoder.
Our model is built on three key beliefs:
* Intelligence and talent are universal, not limited to one country or one company.
* The best and smartest ideas should prevail, regardless of where they come from.
* The only way to determine who has a better solution is through competition.
The foundation of TopCoder is a global community of thousands. From coders and contractors to students and hobbyists, they're brought together by a love of programming, a passion for learning, and the
drive to compete.
Together with our community, we established a rigorous and disciplined software development process that leverages our unique competition model. Based on a growing catalog of reusable software components - built and tested by our members - this process generates high-quality applications quickly and efficiently.
Through competition, the TopCoder community has revolutionized the way software is built.
MG4J (Managing Gigabytes for Java) is a free full-text indexing system for large document collections written in Java. As a by-product, it offers several general-purpose optimised classes, including fast & compact mutable strings, bit-level I/O, fast unsy
