Programmer's Challenge

by Bob Boonstra, Westford, MA

Sum of Powers

A year or so back, Ken Slezak wrote me to say: "Recently my 7th grade son showed me an extra credit math problem. Given a number from 1 to 100, create that number from one, two, or three squared numbers added or subtracted together.... It turned out to be more difficult than I thought! Might this make an interesting programming challenge?" Well, Ken, we're about to find out.

First, though, we need to spice up the problem a bit. I've been trying to make the problems a little easier of late, but the 7th grade level, even the 7th grade extra credit level, would be a bit too easy. First, we'll expand the problem domain to include any positive number that fits into a signed 32-bit long integer. Second, we'll expand the number of terms allowed. And third, instead of limiting the problem to only squared numbers, we'll allow any positive exponent greater than 1.

The prototype for the code you should write is:

typedef struct IntegerPower {
	long value;		/* term is sign*value^power */
	short power;	/* power = 2,3,4,... */
	short sign;		/* +1 or -1 */
} IntegerPower;

long /* number of factors */ SumOfPowers (
	long result,						/* terms need to sum to this result */
	IntegerPower terms[],		/* return terms sign*value^power here */
	long maxTerms						/* maximum number of terms allowed */
);

Your SumOfPowers routine will be called a number of times. Each time, you must identify a set of terms which sum to the specified result. Each term is a value raised to an integer power greater than 1, multiplied by a sign value. You should return the number of terms used to form the result, or zero if the result cannot be formed with maxTerms terms.

The winner will be the solution that forms the desired results with the minimum number of terms. A time penalty of one term will be added per 100 milliseconds of execution time. All solutions must be calculated at execution time; any entry that precalculates a solution will be disqualified.

This will be a native PowerPC Challenge, using the CodeWarrior Pro 5 environment. Solutions may be coded in C, C++, or Pascal. Solutions in Java will also be accepted, but Java entries must be accompanied by a test driver that uses the interface provided in the problem statement.

Ken Slezak earns 2 Challenge points for suggesting this month's Challenge.

Three Months Ago Winner

Congratulations to Jonathan Taylor (Blandford, Dorset, U.K.) for winning the December, 1999, Costas Array Challenge. The Costas Challenge required contestants to produce all of the arrays of a given dimension that satisfied two criteria. First, each row and each column of the array must have exactly one "1", with the remaining entries being zeros. Second, the line connecting a pair of "1"s in an array may not have the same slope as the line connecting any other pair of "1"s. Costas arrays have properties that make it an ideal discrete waveform for some sensor applications. The number of Costas arrays of order N increases until N==17, after which it decreases at least until N==23. This Challenge attracted 16 entries, 13 of which worked correctly.

Jonathan's solution is recursive for array sizes greater than 17, but he gains speed by unrolling the code for smaller orders. He also took advantage of the fact that assembly language was permitted for this Challenge. For these smaller arrays, he maintained the position of the "1"s in each row in separate registers, eliminating a significant number of memory accesses. This optimization allowed Jonathan's entry to run approximately 15% faster than the second place entry by Ernst Munter. Jonathan included a nice description of the recursive and unrolled algorithms in the preface to his code, so I won't repeat his description here.

I evaluated every entry by having them calculate the Costas arrays of orders 5 through 13, inclusive. I then extended the tests to include arrays of orders through 15. Finally, I tested the top entries with arrays of orders through 17. In evaluating the correctness of the arrays generated, I made use of some code provided by Ludovic Nicolle. Ludo's code verified that each array produced met the criteria for a Costas array, and that each array was distinct from any other array. Solutions were judged correct if the number of valid, unique Costas arrays produced equaled the known number of Costas arrays of a given order. Judging correctness would have been more difficult if any of the solutions had completed problems where the number of Costas arrays is unknown; fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), none of the entries completed problems of that size. Several contestants observed that execution time increased by a factor of ~5.3 from one order to the next, and some estimated that 1000 fast PowerMacs should be able to calculate the arrays of order 24 in a couple of weeks. Perhaps we should turn this over to the distributed.net folks.

The table below lists, for each of the solutions submitted, the cumulative time required to calculate the Costas arrays up to orders 13, 15, and 17. It also indicates the code size, data size, and programming language used by each solution. As usual, the number in parentheses after the entrant's name is the total number of Challenge points earned in all Challenges prior to this one.

Here is Jonthan Taylor's winning Costas solution:

Costas.c
Copyright © 1999 Jonathan Taylor

/*
The algorithm works by attempting to find a position for a '1' in the first row of the array, and 
then to work down the array attempting to fill each row in turn until there is no permissible move,
in which case the program backtracks to the previous row and tries the next permissible position. 
At the beginning of each row, it calculates a bit-mask which shows which positions have been
forbidden by the choice of position on the previous rows.

There are two conditions that are detected:
  1. A '1' is already in the column
  2. Putting a '1' in this position would create three in a row:
Let a A and B be the x position of the '1' in two previous rows. Every
existing combination of A and B is checked in turn. C is another row's x
position. This row is the one which, when combined with B and C will
cause one of the positions in the current row to be forbidden. For
example:
    1000 0000 row described by A
    0000 0010
    0010 0000 row described by B
    0100 0000 row described by C
    0001 0000
    (the next row is the one currently being determined)
the '1' in row B is two right and two down of the one in A, so the
position two right and two down from the '1' in row C is forbidden. The
program will record this information appropriately

The program was a recursive function which stores the position of the 1
in each row (rowPos) in RAM, as well as the bitField for each row. The
bitField is a long where each bit represents one of the positions that
the '1' could be placed in the current row. If a bit is set, that
position is forbidden by the rules as applied to the rows that have
already been decided. Unused bits are also one. Note that each level of
recursion has its own bitField variable, each of which will be very
different.

In each recursion, it sets bitField to the appropriate value. If
bitField is now equal to -1, there are no permissible places to put the
'1' on this row, and the function returns to the previous recursion. If
it does not return, it then checks each bit in bitField to see if it is
a zero. If it is, that is a permissible place for the '1'. It records
this selection and calls the next level of recursion (when that level
returns, execution will resume by trying the next bit in bitField).

If by placing a '1' at this level the array has been successfully
filled, the array has the correct values entered in it, and the function
then returns to the previous level of recursion in order to continue the
search for the next solution. It should be noted that if an array is a
valid solution, then its horizontal reflection is also a different,
valid solution (for 2 or more rows). That is also recorded in the
solution list. This allows the running time to be roughly halved,
because once the first row has been half traversed, all the solutions
will have been found.

The problem with that is that the program must be stopped halfway
through the arrays in order to prevent there being repeats. The
condition is slightly different for even- and odd-sized arrays, so one
of two different tests is used depending on the array size.

This version was used for cases of n>17. Version 2 handles smaller
cases (much faster!). The underlying algorithm is the same, though. It
could easily be extended to higher ones by writing more code.

Version 2

I suspected that the limiting factor for the speed of the previous
example was probably memory accesses. In calculating bitField, the
positions of the '1's in previous rows are used over and over again.
However, they are not used in order, and neither I nor the complier
could find any effective way of caching the values in registers to save
on RAM accesses.  However, I realised there were in fact enough
registers to fit them all into registers.

This strategy is extremely fast, as it requires only one write to RAM
when calling the next recursion level, and one read when returning.
However there is a problem. I have been unable to discover a way of
indirectly addressing a register. It is not possible to design a loop
that will access, say, row_position[n] if it is stores in register n. It
was therefore necessary to unroll all the loops completely (If anyone
wants to tell me how I could have performed indirect addressing of
registers, I'd love to know!).

Since the loops were of variable length depending on the level of
recursion, it was necessary to write new code for every level of
recursion, with 'goto's to "call" the next level of recursion. This has
the huge drawback that new code must be written in order to allow the
program do determine larger arrays. The competition code was able to
deal with up to 17x17 arrays. What I should have done was to write a
program to generate the C code, since the unrolling is completely
deterministic, although fairly complex. As it was, I had to spend a long
time checking for errors in the unrolling.

By the 17th row, there are 140 calls of SetBit()! There are only 17 bits
to be set. This is a huge overkill if it turns out there is no place to
go anyway! As a result, I inserted the line:

if(tempBitField==-1) goto endSetForbiddenXX;

after every 5 SetBit() s. This allows the subsequent calls to be skipped
if there is already no place left to go. I have no idea how often they
should be put - I didn't have time to experiment - and they take up
valuable execution time. With some serious experimentation, a better
distribution of the 'if's could almost certainly be found.

This version has several limitations. The problem of loop unrolling
limiting the array size can be partly solved by producing an automatic C
code generator as described. The other potential problem is lack of
registers. I reckon about 8-10 are needed in addition to the
row-position ones. With current processors having 32 integer registers,
22x22 arrays could potentially be calculated. After that, the values
would have to spill over into RAM, causing some, but not initially much,
slowdown.

/* the code then continues with begin6 up to begin16. The pattern the code is following after 
each 'begin' should be clear now!

The size of the code grows with n^2, and becomes completely dominated by SetBit(). This is 
definitely the place for further optimization! Several things spring to mind.
At the moment I suspect the SetBit() macros are executed in strict order, since the 
tempBitField register is always being modified. By using a number of different registers 
that are written to, it might be possible to allow a much greater degree of instruction 
interleaving, which looks as if it could at least double the speed if done cleverly?

The other place for improvement is the the 'if(tempBitField==-1)' lines (see note in introduction).
