Until now, no other book examined the gap between the theory of
algorithms and the production of software programs. Focusing on
practical issues, A Programmer's Companion to Algorithm Analysis
carefully details the transition from the design and analysis of an
algorithm to the resulting software program. Consisting of two main
complementary parts, the book emphasizes the concrete aspects of
translating an algorithm into software that should perform based on
what the algorithm analysis indicated. In the first part, the
author describes the idealized universe that algorithm designers
inhabit while the second part outlines how this ideal can be
adapted to the real world of programming. The book explores
analysis techniques, including crossover points, the influence of
the memory hierarchy, implications of programming language aspects,
such as recursion, and problems arising from excessively high
computational complexities of solution methods. It concludes with
four appendices that discuss basic algorithms; memory hierarchy,
virtual memory management, optimizing compilers, and garbage
collection; NP-completeness and higher complexity classes; and
undecidability in practical terms. Applying the theory of
algorithms to the production of software, A Programmer's Companion
to Algorithm Analysis fulfills the needs of software programmers
and developers as well as students by showing that with the correct
algorithm, you can achieve a functional software program.
