sparsebitset 1.3-1

Package Information

Descriptionefficient sparse bit set implementation for Java

SparseBitSet holds large numbers of bits, or bits at very high offsets, in far less memory than the standard java.util.BitSet. BitSet keeps one contiguous array covering every offset up to the highest bit that has been set, so recording a single bit near the top of the int range costs hundreds of megabytes.

SparseBitSet uses a structure modelled on virtual memory instead, and allocates only the blocks it actually needs, for an overhead of about 0.03 32-bit words per 64 bits. It offers the same logical operations as BitSet - and, inclusive or, exclusive or, and and-not - over all or part of the set.
