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 🙏

High Performance Computing Algorithms in JavaScript

Faster and Better Algorithms, starting with high performance sorting:

  • LSD Radix Sort for unsigned 32-bit integer arrays. 20-30X faster than JavaScript's built-in array sort for arrays less than 35 Million. 5-10X faster for arrays greater than 35 Million. This sort algorithm is not in-place, returning a new sorted array. Discussion, benchmarks and usage in https://duvanenko.tech.blog/2017/06/15/faster-sorting-in-javascript/
  • LSD Radix Sort for arrays of objects by an unsigned integer key. 15X faster than JavaScript's built-in .sort(). This is a stable sort, while JavaScript built-in is not stable. This sort algorithm is not in-place, returning a new sorted array. Discussion, benchmarks and usage in https://duvanenko.tech.blog/2017/07/10/sorting-arrays-of-objects-in-javascript-with-radix-sort/
  • Counting Sort for Uint8 and Uint16 typed arrays. 40X faster for Uint8 arrays and 15X faster for Uint16 arrays. This sort algorithm is in-place.

When you benchmark these algorithms keep in mind that for the first few runs the basic JavaScript JIT compiler is used, providing fast start up time and giving time for the optimizing compiler to run. After these few runs the optimized code starts being used, revealing the full performance of LSD Radix Sort and Counting Sort algorithms. See https://blog.sessionstack.com/how-javascript-works-inside-the-v8-engine-5-tips-on-how-to-write-optimized-code-ac089e62b12e for more details about the JIT engine in Chrome.

Examples

function simpleUsageExampleOfRadixSortLSD() {
    var arrayToBeSorted = [ 99, 1999999999, 51, 23, 102];
    var sortedArray = HpcAlgorithms.Sorting.RadixSortLsdUInt32(arrayToBeSorted);
    for ( var _current = 0; _current < sortedArray.length; _current++ ) {
        console.log(sortedArray[_current]);
    }
}
