Assignment 1
LZSS
LZSS (Lempel–Ziv–Storer–Szymanski) is a compression algorithm that belongs to LZ77 family. It attempts to replace a string of symbols with a reference to a dictionary location of the same string.
The C implementation includes both compression and un-compression functionalities, however only compression algorithm will be tested and profiled. The source code for LZSS an be found here.
Data Overview
Supplying dummy text file to the compression function may not reflect real-world performance. Meaningful data needs to be used for the compression algorithm bench-marking and profiling since randomly generated text does not follow language rules/patterns (meaning it’s harder to compress such data).
The CIA world fact book was used as our test material. The file itself is only 4 megabytes, so in order to benchmark LZSS for larger size, world fact book text was concatenated to itself (many times) to reach certain size.
| File Name | Size (MB) |
|---|---|
| 1GB.txt | 1071 |
| 500M.txt | 536 |
| 250M.txt | 268 |
| 125M.txt | 134 |
Profiling
Binary was produced (for both debugging and profiling) with gcc command. Code snippet below demonstrates profiling commands used for 250 megabyte file (same logic was applied to other text files). The binary is supplied with the original text file as its first argument and destination file for the compressed output.

Analysis
Lets first try to visualise the function calls so it is easier to determine where LZSS algorithm spends most of the time.
gprof ./lzss | gprof2dot | dot | convert - out.png
The call graph demonstrates that insert_node function takes the bulk of work (83.48%). delete_node takes only 10% even though it’s called nearly as many times as insert_node. It is hard to determine if LZSS is a good candidate for GPU optimisation: data throughput can be quite large but the logic of the algorithm includes some branching which can introduce some issues while porting code to CUDA. I suspect that compress function itself will need to be parallized (rather than insert_node).

SelectionSort
Selection Sort algorithm loops through every value in an array and finds the minimum values, assuming sort in ascending order, then puts it to the sorted area.
Source Code
// C program for implementation of selection sort
#include <stdio.h>
#include<cstdlib>
void swap(int *xp, int *yp)
{
int temp = *xp;
*xp = *yp;
*yp = temp;
}
void selectionSort(int arr[], int n)
{
int i, j, min_idx;
// One by one move boundary of unsorted subarray
for (i = 0; i < n-1; i++)
{
// Find the minimum element in unsorted array
min_idx = i;
for (j = i+1; j < n; j++)
if (arr[j] < arr[min_idx])
min_idx = j;
// Swap the found minimum element with the first element
swap(&arr[min_idx], &arr[i]);
}
}
// Driver program to test above functions
int main()
{
int arrSize = 150000;
int arr[arrSize];
for (int i = 0; i < arrSize; i++) {
arr[i] = rand() % 10000 + 1;
}
int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
selectionSort(arr, n);
return 0;
}

Tested the selection sort algorithm with three different array size: 50000, 100000, and 150000. The amount of time spent increased noticeably.
