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 ![](images/img922.png)
|
|
|
- Database access cost of BF is
![](images/img923.png)
|
|
- Cost of FA is
![](images/img924.png)
|
- 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
