Space-Time Tradeoff
Home * Programming * Space-Time Tradeoff
Space-Time Tradeoff refers to providing knowledge, information or data, where memory size competes with computation time. This tradeoff is a frequent issue in computer chess programming, for instance low level stuff to calculate or lookup single populated bitboards by square index, or a distance between two squares. Lookup tables are non-volatile tables or initialized once at program startup, various hash tables and caches. Space-time tradeoff is also an issue in determining (almost) perfect knowledge from interior node recognizers by retrograde analysis, that is the application of endgame bit- or tablebases and various compression techniques.
Space-Time Tradeoffs
There are multiple CPW pages where memory competes with computation:
- Bit by Square
- BitScan
- Distance
- Encoding Moves
- Endgame Bitbases
- Endgame Tablebases
- Hash Table
- Kindergarten Bitboards
- KPK
- Legality Test
- Magic Bitboards
- Manhattan-Distance
- Material Tables
- Population Count
- Rotated Bitboards
- Table-driven Move Generation
- The Switch Approach
- Transposition Table
