bitvec: Space-efficient bit vectors
A newtype over Bool
with a better Vector
instance: 8x less memory, up to 1000x faster.
The vector
package represents unboxed arrays of Bool
spending 1 byte (8 bits) per boolean.
This library provides a newtype wrapper Bit
and a custom instance
of unboxed Vector
, which packs bits densely,
achieving 8x less memory footprint.
The performance stays mostly the same;
the most significant degradation happens for random writes
(up to 10% slower).
On the other hand, for certain bulk bit operations
Vector
Bit
is up to 1000x faster than Vector
Bool
.
Thread safety
Data.Bit is faster, but writes and flips are thread-unsafe. This is because naive updates are not atomic: read the whole word from memory, then modify a bit, then write the whole word back.
Data.Bit.ThreadSafe is slower (up to 20%), but writes and flips are thread-safe.
Similar packages
array is memory-efficient for
Bool
, but lacks a handyVector
interface and is not thread-safe.
