Fastutil
• Fastutil 6 is a free software, developed in Java.

Fastutil
• Fastutil extends Java Collections, and it
provides:
– Type-specific maps, sets, and lists;
– Priority queues with a small memory footprint and
fast access and insertion;
– 64-bit arrays, sets, and lists;
– Fast I/O classes for text and binary files.

Fastutil
• Advantages in using Fastutil:
– Classes of Fastutil are implemented in order to
work on huge collections of data in an efficient
way.
– Fastutil provides a new set of classes to deal
with collections whose size exceeds 231.

Fastutil
• Advantages in using Fastutil:
– There are additional features (ex. bidirectional
iterators) that are not available in the standard
classes.
– Classes can be plugged into existing code,
because they implement their standard
counterpart (ex. Map for Maps).

Fastutil: Big Arrays
• BigArrays: class that provides static methods and
objects for working with big arrays.
• Big arrays are arrays-of-arrays. For example, a big
array of integers has type int[][].
• Methods handle these arrays-of-arrays as if they are
monodimensional arrays with 64-bit indices.
• The length of a big array is bounded by
Long.MAX_VALUE rather than Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Fastutil: Big Arrays
• Given a big array a, a[0], a[1], … a[n] are called segments.
Each one has length: SEGMENT_SIZE (the last segment can
have a smaller size).
• Each index i is associated with a segment and a displacement
into the segment.
– Methods segment/displacement compute the
segment/displacement associated with a given index.
– Method index receives the segment and the displacement
and returns the corresponding index.
– Methods get/set allow to return/set the value of a given
element in the big array.

Fastutil Big Arrays - example
• We want to scan the big array a.
• First solution:
for( int s = 0; s < a.length; s++ ) {
final int[] t = a[ s ];
for( int d = 0; d < t.length; d++ ) {
//do something with t[ d ]
}
}

Fastutil Big Arrays - example
• Second solution:
for( int s = a.length; s-- != 0; ) {
final int[] t = a[ s ];
for( int d = t.length; d-- != 0; ) {
//do something with t[ d ]
}
}

Fastutil Big Arrays - example
• Third solution:
for( int s = a.length; s-- != 0; ) {
final long[] t = a[ s ];
for( int d = t.length; d-- != 0; )
t[d] = index( s, d );
}
We can use the index method, which returns the
index associated with a segment and displacement.

Fastutil: Big data structures
• Fastutil provides classes also for other data
structures:
– BigList: a list with indices. The instances of this
class implement the same semantics of traditional
List.
– HashBigSet: the instances of this class use a hash
table to represent a big set. The number of
elements in the set is limited only by the amount
of core memory.

Dsiutils: MultipleString
• In large-scale text indexing we want to use a
mutable string that, once frozen, can be used in
the same optimized way of an immutable string.
• In Java we have String and StringBuffer, which
can be used for immutable and mutable strings
respectively.
• The solution is MultipleString.
• MultipleString does not need synchronization.

Dsiutils: packages
• Some important packages:
– it.unimi.dsi.bits contains main classes for
manipulating bits. Example: the class BitVectors
provides static methods and objects that do useful
things with bit vectors.
– it.unimi.dsi.compression provides word-based
compression/decompression classes.
– it.unimi.dsi.util offers implementations of
BloomFilters, PrefixMaps, StringMaps, BinaryTries
and others.

manage very large graphs.

WebGraph
• WebGraph provides:
– ζ-codes, which are suitable for storing web graphs.
– Algorithm for compressing the graph that exploit
gap compression as well as ζ-codes. The
parameters provide different tradeoffs between
access speed and compression ratio.
– Algorithms to access to compressed graphs
without decompression. The lazy techniques delay
the decompression until it is necessary.

WebGraph: classes
• Some important classes:
– ImmutableGraph is an abstract class representing an
immutable graph.
– BVGraph allows to store and access web graphs in a
compressed form.
– ASCIIGraph is used to store the graph in a humanreadable ASCII format.

WebGraph: classes
• Some important classes:
– ArcLabelledImmutableGraph is an abstract
implementation of a graph with labeled arcs.
– Transform returns the transformed version of an
immutable graph. We can use the transpose
method of this class if we want to create the
transpose graph.

Build the graph: step2
• We can use the main method of the BVGraph class to
load and compress an ImmutableGraph.
• The compressed graph is described by:
basename.graph: the graph file. It contains the
successor lists, one for each node. Each list is a
sequence of natural number that are coded as
sequence of bits in a efficient way.
basename.offsets: the offset file. It stores the offset for
each node of the graph.
basename.properties: the file with properties and
statistics.
