The Judy algorithm

2003-03-10 Thread Tim Bunce
I think this might be interesting to some of you... Judy is a general purpose dynamic array implemented as a C callable library. Judy's speed and memory usage are typically better than other data storage models and improves with very large data sets.

Slightly related, I think we could use some more tinderbox testers. Someone was running the tests on Compaq's test drive boxes, but that seems to have stopped? I've restarted my Sparc/Solaris 8 tinderbox. Defining a list of needed test platforms might be a good idea. I have plenty of old
