Compressing 2D sparse matrix storage

Revision en1, by twoslow, 2019-02-20 23:15:06

Hello, codeforces community

  • I've a 2D sparse matrix of 0's and 1's of size NxN, where N = 16 Million i.e 16,000,000.
  • The number of non zeros in the matrix are ~450 Million. i.e 450,000,000.

What is the most efficient way to store the such matrix, given that I'll get the queries like:

  • What are the non-zero elements in row number x.
  • What are the non-zero elements in column number y.

Currently I'm storing the matrix in CSR format.

Which is taking

  • (450000000 * 4 Bytes) / (1024 * 1024) ~ 1716MB of memory for row storage, and same amount of memory for column storage.

The overall memory to store such structure is about 3.5GB.

I want to compress it in a way such that the memory consumption is reduced and the queries can still be fast.

Any help regarding this is most welcome.
