Analysis |
|
- Any object not seen cannot be in top- list
|
- Due to monotonicity property
|
|
- in earlier example
|
- Comparison with brute-force (BF) algorithm
|
- Assume a disk page contains one object and its associated score
|
- BF does random accesses and sequential accesses
|
- Denote cost of random access by and sequential access by
|
|
|
- Database access cost of BF is
|
|
- Cost of FA is
|
- FA does lesser sequential accesses but more random accesses
|
- " Seen" list is long leading to many random accesses
|
- Finding "full" objects may need deep probing into the lists
