Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Big Array

A resizable array using non-sequential block memory allocation. Growing or shrinking the array does not require reallocation of the entire array. Useful when you need to track a few trillion data points.

Note: For best results a 64-bit system and enough RAM to hold your data is recommended. If your data set grows slowly over time, paging to virtual memory may be acceptable.

	npm install big-array

Usage: bigArray.Char(numberOfInitialElements, sizeOfElementBlocks)

  • numberOfInitialElements: Number of array elements to initially allocate, rounds up to the nearest number divisible by sizeOfElementBlocks. default is 1
  • sizeOfElementBlocks: Number of elements to allocate in each memory block. If this number is too small it will drastically increase the overhead memory usage for large arrays. default is 1048576 (1 MB for char)
	var bigArray = require('big-array'),
		ba, val;

	// Numeric array types
	ba = new bigArray.Char(10, 100);
	ba = new bigArray.UnsignedChar();

	ba = new bigArray.Int();
	ba = new bigArray.UnsignedInt();

	ba = new bigArray.ShortInt();
	ba = new bigArray.ShortUnsignedInt();

	ba = new bigArray.LongInt();
	ba = new bigArray.LongUnsignedInt();

	ba = new bigArray.Float();

	ba = new bigArray.Double();
	var bigArray = require('big-array'),
		trillion = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000,
		ba, i;

	ba = bigArray.UnsignedChar();
	// Unlike JavaScript, setting or getting a high index will result in 
	// the array allocating all elements before that index
	ba.set(trillion, 5);

Tip: When testing on Linux, use "ulimit -v" to limit the maximum memory consumption.

	# Limit memory usage to 10GB
	ulimit -v 10485760

Common methods

	set(index, value)
	get(index)

	// inc/dec by 1
	inc(index)
	dec(index)

	push(value)
	pop()
	// modify push/pop index
	setIndex(index)
	getIndex()

	// resize array to [size]
	resize(size)
