sparsepp (version 1.22)

sparsepp-package: sparsepp

Description

sparsepp provides bindings to the sparsepp - fast, memory efficient hash map for C++. sparsepp is an open source C++ library derived from Google's excellent sparsehash implementation, but considerably outperform it - https://github.com/greg7mdp/sparsepp/blob/master/bench.md. It aims to achieve the following objectives:

• A drop-in alternative for unordered_map and unordered_set.

• Extremely low memory usage (typically about one byte overhead per entry).

• Very efficient, typically faster than your compiler's unordered map/set or Boost's.

• C++11 support (if supported by compiler).

• Single header implementation - just copy sparsepp.h to your project and include it.

• Tested on Windows (vs2010-2015, g++), linux (g++, clang++) and MacOS (clang++).
