If I understand correctly I have two options for the phrase and distortion tables:
1. Have textual phrase and distortion tables loaded into memory during decoding - needs lots of memory, but once the tables are loaded is fast because no disk access is needed 2. Binarize the phrase and distortion tables (http://www.statmt.org/moses/?n=Moses.AdvancedFeatures#ntoc2) - only a small index is loaded into memory, and phrases and distortion info is loaded on demand from disk, a bit slower than 1. because disk access is required Is there an option in between 1. and 2. to binarize the tables and load them completely into memory? (requiring less memory than the textual tables, but being fast because of no disk access) Does anybody have performance numbers comparing 1. and 2. (all other settings being equal)? Thanks Achim
