A Programmer's Companion to Algorithm Analysis

Buy
Focusing on practical issues, A Programmer's Companion to Algorithm Analysis bridges the gap between algorithms and software programs. This book explains the fundamental differences between the computational model assumed for algorithms and the real architectures in which programs execute. It highlights the pitfalls that can occur when implementing an algorithm as software and offers suggestions to solve these problems. The book also explores the interactions among program, compiler, and run-time support system, contrasting this with the simpler model assumed for algorithms. Intended for software developers and programmers, it places particular emphasis on the implications of the memory hierarchy on program efficiency.

The primary emphasis of this book is the transition from an algorithm to a program. Given a problem to solve, the typical first step is the design of an algorithm; this algorithm is then translated into software. We will look carefully at the interface between the design and analysis of algorithms on the one hand and the resulting program solving the problem on the other. This approach is motivated by the fact that algorithms for standard problems are readily available in textbooks and literature and are frequently used as building blocks for more complex designs. Thus, the correctness of the algorithm is much less a concern than its adaptation to a working program.

Many textbooks, several excellent, are dedicated to algorithms, their design, their analysis, the techniques involved in creating them, and how to determine their time and space complexities. They provide the building blocks of the overall design. These books are usually considered part of the theoretical side of computing. There are also numerous books dedicated to designing software, from those concentrating on programming in the small (designing and debugging individual programs) to programming in the large (looking at large systems in their totality). These books are usually viewed as belonging to software engineering. However, there are no books that look systematically at the gap separating the theory of algorithms and software engineering, even though many things can go wrong in taking several algorithms and producing a software product derived from them.
