FCH Algorithm
%!includeconf: CONFIG.t2t
----------------------------------------
==The Algorithm==
The algorithm is presented in [[1 #papers]].
----------------------------------------
==Memory Consumption==
Now we detail the memory consumption to generate and to store minimal perfect hash functions
using the FCH algorithm. The structures responsible for memory consumption are in the
following:
- A vector containing all the //n// keys.
- Data structure to speed up the searching step:
+ **random_table**: is a vector used to remember currently empty slots in the hash table. It stores //n// 4 byte long integer numbers. This vector initially contains a random permutation of the //n// hash addresses. A pointer called filled_count is used to keep the invariant that any slots to the right side of filled_count (inclusive) are empty and any ones to the left are filled.
+ **hash_table**: Table used to check whether all the collisions were resolved. It has //n// entries of one byte.
+ **map_table**: For any unfilled slot //x// in hash_table, the map_table vector contains //n// 4 byte long pointers pointing at random_table such that random_table[map_table[x]] = x. Thus, given an empty slot x in the hash_table, we can locate its position in the random_table vector through map_table.
- Other auxiliary structures
+ **sorted_indexes**: is a vector of //cn/(log(n) + 1)// 4 byte long pointers to indirectly keep the buckets sorted by decreasing order of their sizes.
+ **function //g//**: is represented by a vector of //cn/(log(n) + 1)// 4 byte long integer numbers, one for each bucket. It is used to spread all the keys in a given bucket into the hash table without collisions.
Thus, the total memory consumption of FCH algorithm for generating a minimal
perfect hash function (MPHF) is: //O(n) + 9n + 8cn/(log(n) + 1)// bytes.
The value of parameter //c// must be greater than or equal to 2.6.
Now we present the memory consumption to store the resulting function.
We only need to store the //g// function and a constant number of bytes for the seed of the hash functions used in the resulting MPHF. Thus, we need //cn/(log(n) + 1) + O(1)// bytes.
