Source-first archive entry

This page is built from the copied files in competitive_programming/ioi/2021/registers. Edit competitive_programming/ioi/2021/registers/solution.tex to update the written solution and competitive_programming/ioi/2021/registers/solution.cpp to update the implementation.

The website does not replace those files with hand-maintained HTML. It reads the copied source tree during the build and exposes the exact files below.

Problem Statement

Rendered from the "Problem Summary" section inside solution.tex because this entry has no separate statement file.

You have $m = 100$ registers, each containing $b = 2000$ bits. Register 0 initially contains $n$ values, each $k$ bits wide, packed consecutively. The remaining bits are 0. You must output the sorted values (or just the minimum, depending on the subtask) in register 0 using a limited number of instructions:

Instructions: AND, OR, XOR, NOT (bitwise on full registers), LEFT shift, RIGHT shift, ADD (modular addition of two registers).

Editorial

Solution Approach

Subtask 1: Finding Minimum

For finding the minimum of $n$ values of $k$ bits each:

Pairwise Comparison

To compare two $k$-bit numbers $A$ and $B$: compute $A - B$ (using ADD with $B$'s complement). The sign bit (bit $k-1$ of the result) tells us which is larger.

Tournament Approach

  1. Copy register 0. Shift the copy right by $k$ bits to align adjacent values.

  2. Compare pairs and keep the minimum.

  3. Repeat $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil$ times.

Subtask 2: Full Sort (Sorting Network)

Implement a sorting network (e.g., odd-even merge sort or bitonic sort) using register operations.

Each comparator (compare-and-swap of two values):

  1. Extract the two values into separate registers.

  2. Compare them (subtract and check sign).

  3. Based on the comparison, write $\min$ and $\max$ back.

  4. A bitonic sort network of $n$ elements uses $O(n \log^2 n)$ comparators. Each comparator is $O(1)$ register operations.

Complexity Analysis

  • Subtask 1 (Minimum): $O(k \log n)$ instructions for the tournament approach with $\log n$ rounds.

  • Subtask 2 (Full Sort): $O(n^2 k)$ instructions for bubble sort. An optimized bitonic sort network would use $O(n \log^2 n \cdot k)$ instructions.

  • Register count: Uses approximately 15 registers.

\section{Problem Summary}
You have $m = 100$ registers, each containing $b = 2000$ bits. Register 0 initially contains $n$ values, each $k$ bits wide, packed consecutively. The remaining bits are 0. You must output the sorted values (or just the minimum, depending on the subtask) in register 0 using a limited number of instructions:

Instructions: AND, OR, XOR, NOT (bitwise on full registers), LEFT shift, RIGHT shift, ADD (modular addition of two registers).

\section{Solution Approach}

\subsection{Subtask 1: Finding Minimum}
For finding the minimum of $n$ values of $k$ bits each:

\subsubsection{Pairwise Comparison}
To compare two $k$-bit numbers $A$ and $B$: compute $A - B$ (using ADD with $B$'s complement). The sign bit (bit $k-1$ of the result) tells us which is larger.

\subsubsection{Tournament Approach}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Copy register 0. Shift the copy right by $k$ bits to align adjacent values.
  \item Compare pairs and keep the minimum.
  \item Repeat $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil$ times.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Subtask 2: Full Sort (Sorting Network)}
Implement a sorting network (e.g., odd-even merge sort or bitonic sort) using register operations.

Each comparator (compare-and-swap of two values):
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Extract the two values into separate registers.
  \item Compare them (subtract and check sign).
  \item Based on the comparison, write $\min$ and $\max$ back.
\end{enumerate}

A bitonic sort network of $n$ elements uses $O(n \log^2 n)$ comparators. Each comparator is $O(1)$ register operations.

\section{Complexity Analysis}
\begin{itemize}
  \item \textbf{Subtask 1 (Minimum):} $O(k \log n)$ instructions for the tournament approach with $\log n$ rounds.
  \item \textbf{Subtask 2 (Full Sort):} $O(n^2 k)$ instructions for bubble sort. An optimized bitonic sort network would use $O(n \log^2 n \cdot k)$ instructions.
  \item \textbf{Register count:} Uses approximately 15 registers.
