Part 1 Speed
From CMSC 420
These are user times in seconds (rounded up) from running the following command on linux.grace.umd.edu:
./gnarly.py n | time java -Xmx8192M -Xincgc Main > /dev/null
where n is replaced with one of the values from the table. (You may need to tap java150 to access Java on Grace.) Yes, that's a lotta memory.
| Who | n=10 | n=100 | n=1000 | n=5000 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ben | 1 | 1 | 11 | 210 | Run by jkleint... Used 7 GB RAM. That's 1.4 MB per city. Dang. |
This is just for kicks on Part 1; we're not grading performance. These timings probably include so much XML parsing overhead as to be pretty meaningless anyway. They're a rough guide; if your solution is working and you're taking more than 2-3x this time (or memory!), try running a profiler to see where your code is spending its time. Or steal someone else's for Part 2. :)
