Density histogram construction using memory compact vectors. http://bitmagic.io/bm-hist-compr.html Example uses simulated data imitation human variations on chr1 (size wise). Rank-Select compressed vector used to keep the test data set. Then we run a few algorithms to construct density histograms as bit-transposed memory compact vectors or two types (SV and RSC). After construction example serializes both containers to disk to understand compressed footprint. Example runs benchmarks to illustrate random access performance to compact histogram data. How to build: Use ./build_all.sh script (it is x86 centric as builds SIMD versions). How to run: ./run_all.sh Expected output sample: ------------------------- Number of elements in the data set: 29411768 Histogram 1 (SV) size: 100001 RAM size: 119104 file size: 71727 Histogram 2 (RSC) size: 250000001 NOT NULL count: 100001 RAM size: 1157552 file size: 235580 Histogram 3 adaptive (RSC) size: 249999385 NOT NULL count: 305 RAM size: 168400 file size: 1052 Access sample size = 1961594 01.
