Added new runstack.py.
New `shivers2()` adds the implementation of adaptive ShiversSort from Vincent's later paper. While the code is simpler, it appears to behave identically.
New `shivers3()` adds, from the same paper, the new "length-adaptive ShiversSort". Wow! This is the only thing we've seen yet that's in the same universe as powersort. In fact, it usually does a tiny bit better (on the randomized cases). But it's not obvious how to rework its "if" test to be truly efficient (as-is, it needs two divisions, two calls to `log2()`, and two calls to `floor()`).
Worth some thought, though. From the results here, length-adaptive ShiversSort is a bigger improvement over (plain-old) adaptive ShiversSort than the latter is over timsort. |
