<h1>Priority Queue Text <tt>join</tt> Timing Test</h1>
<h2><a name="description" id="description">Description</a></h2>
<p>This test inserts a number of values with keys from an
arbitrary text ([ <a href="references.html#wickland96thirty">wickland96thirty</a> ]) into
two containers, then merges the containers. It uses
<tt>join</tt> for <tt>pb_ds</tt>'s priority queues; for the
STL's priority queues, it successively pops values from one
container and pushes them into the other. The test measures the
average time as a function of the number of values.</p>
<p>(The test was executed with <a href="../../../../testsuite/performance/ext/pb_ds/priority_queue_text_join_timing.cc"><tt>priority_queue_text_join_timing_test</tt></a>

<h2><a name="purpose" id="purpose">Purpose</a></h2>
<p>The test checks the effect of different underlying

<h2><a name="observations" id="observations">Observations</a></h2>
<p>In this test the node-based heaps perform <tt>join</tt> in
either logarithmic or constant time. The binary heap requires
linear time, since the well-known heapify algorithm [<a href="references.html#clrs2001">clrs2001</a>] is linear.</p>
<p>It would be possible to apply the heapify algorithm to the
STL containers, if they would support iteration (which they
don't). Barring iterators, it is still somehow possible to
perform linear-time merge on a <tt>std::vector</tt>-based STL
priority queue, using <tt>top()</tt> and <tt>size()</tt> (since
they are enough to expose the underlying array), but this is
impossible for a <tt>std::deque</tt>-based STL priority queue.
Without heapify, the cost is super-linear.</p>
