 in any case, everyone involved in requirements acquisition emdash  and certainly all programmers and administrators emdash  should at least have an acquaintance with the range of resources and ideas that bear on analysis of requirements. ldblquote concurrency for grown-upsrdblquote  explains that thererquote s a lot more to multi-tasking than just threading. cameronrquote s personal page on ksh provides pointers for more information on this interesting and capable language. make sure you install a ksh93; many linux distributions install ksh88 by default.

 that simplifies manual lookup in the new york city telephone directory, for example, from a problem on the scale of a million to a problem on the order of the logarithm of a million about fourteen, say. thatrquote s typical of sorting work; superior algorithms often outperform inferior ones by a factor of a thousand or more. it pays to sort intelligently. most intelligent of all, however, is to avoid sorting altogether, or at least limit it to occasions when it wonrquote t be noticed. thatrquote s common with database management systems; among other benefits, they allow for the construction of ldblquote insert-timerdblquote  indexes. when a sorted result is needed, it can be read directly from the index.

 the cost is a slightly longer time to create or insert elements  but users wonrquote t notice this if the applicationrquote s workflow is typical. knuthrquote s reference describes plenty of other tactics, such as ldblquote boyer-moorerdblquote  or ldblquote rabin-karprdblquote  for accelerating sorting operations in specific situations. one common principle that unifies several of these is that it can be easier to solve a general problem than a more specific one. mathematicians are familiar with this; common problems in algebra are more tractable when considered over the complex numbers than over the reals, even though complex arithmetic is more difficult. thatrquote s how i think about ldblquote decorate-sort-undecoraterdblquote  dsu.
