... My DAWG program makes the trie reduction in 2 seconds on a 1.3GHz Athlon. ... I guess that the lookslike method solves an isomorphism problem, right? You...
... I concur with the others; my JIT-compiled program takes ~20 seconds. ... Along with Gunnar's suggestion, changing the starting point of your reduction from...
Mine takes a similar amount of time -- roughly 15 minutes and 1.8GB of memory on a 1.4Ghz Opteron, but that's because I'm building a DAGGAD, which equates to...
... It should be possible to have both time and memory scale mostly linearly, for example my implementation takes about 1 minute and 64 MB memory for a 35MB...

My C program builds the suffix tree for 264,057 words in less than 2 seconds on my Mac laptop (800 MHz running at 667 on battery). Memory is about 25M. I have...
Hi: People with experience in Scrabble move generation (Brian, others?) please let us know: is there any noticable increase in move generation speed once you ...
... Yes, it should be identical. The only conceivable speedup could be from better paging characteristics, but with modern memory sizes that is not an issue. ...
OK nobody seems to be fielding this one, so even though I've never tested this, I'll describe the theory. The smaller your data structure, the more likely it...
Oh. I must've missed this thread. When using an Opteron with 1MB cache, I get a 40% increase in speed with the minimized trie. With a 256K cache Athlon, the...
Anyone care to comment on the assertion in "Storing and Retrieving Keys in a Table by Cross-Indexing" (~1992), <http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/41290.html>, by W....
Hi all, ... With one query you will find a set of indices of keys (disregarding the cost of the query). The cost of reconstruction -- and we want the resulting...

Hi all. I'm a newbie here, so please forgive the inevitable faux pas for the next little while. I've written a small (~10K source, ~6K compiled) C program to...
OK, here's faux pas #1: assuming that a reply to my own first message didn't get accepted and repeating it at the start of a new thread :) I got sick of...
Folks, some news! I received an email a couple of days ago from Rex Gooch who has been working on word squares. While looking up some of our old discussions ...
Any of you guys have easy access to a multi-processor system such as a grid or a loosely coupled array? I have a tensquare program running that looks like...
Hi, As far as I know, there are in existence 5 different sets of Boggle cubes that were used over the years. Is this correct? I've attached my five files...
