Python 中的贪婪排名算法,python排名算法, 对于我所完成的工作,我


在较早的一遍文章中,我曾经提到过我已经写了一个属于自己的排序算法,并且认为需要通过一些代码来重新回顾一下这个排序算法。

对于我所完成的工作,我核实并且保证微处理器的安全。对非常复杂的CPU进行测试的一个方法就是创建该芯片的另一个模型,其可以用来产生在CPU上运行的伪随机指令流。这所谓的ISG(指令流产生器)能够在很短的时间内创建几千(甚至几百万)个这样的测试,通过某种方式,使其可以巧妙地给出一些对将在CPU上执行的指令流的控制或操纵。

现在对这些指令流进行模拟,可以通过每一个测试实例花费的时间获取到CPU的那一部分被使用了(这叫做被覆盖)的信息,并且ISG所产生的的过个测试可能会覆盖CPU的同一个区域。为了增加CPU的整体覆盖范围,我们启动一个被称作复原的行为——所有的测试都运行,并且它们的覆盖范围和花费的时间将被存储起来。在这次复原的最后,您可能会有几千个测试实例只覆盖了CPU的某一部分。

如果你拿着这个复原测试的记过,并且对其进行排序,你会发现这个测试结果的一个子集会给出它们覆盖了CPU的所有部分。通常,上千的伪随机测试可能会被排序,进而产生一个只有几百个测试的子列表,它们在运行时将会给出同样的覆盖范围。接下来我们经常会做的是,查看CPU的哪个部分没有被覆盖,然后通过ISG或其它方法在产生更多的测试,来试图填补这一空白。再然后会运行一次新的复原,并且循环得再一次进行排序来充分使用该CPU,以达到某个覆盖范围目标。

对测试进行排名是复原流程的一个重要部分,当其进行地很好时你可能就会忘记它。不幸的是,有时,当我想要对其它数据进行排名时,CAD工具厂商所提供的常用排名算法并不适合。因此,能够扩展到处理成百上千个测试和覆盖点才是一个排名算法的本质。

输入

通常情况下,我不得不从其他CAD程序产生的文本或HTML文件来解析我的输入 – 这是个是单调乏味的工作,我会跳过这个乏味的工作,而通过以Python字典的形式提供理想的输入。 (有时用于解析输入文件的代码可以跟排名算法一样大或着更大)。

让我们假设每个ISG测试都有一个名称,在确定的“时间”内运行,当模拟显示’覆盖’设计中的
一组编号的特性时。解析之后,所收集的输入数据由程序中的结果字典来表示。

results = {
#    'TEST': (  TIME, set([COVERED_POINT ...])),
  'test_00': (  2.08, set([2, 3, 5, 11, 12, 16, 19, 23, 25, 26, 29, 36, 38, 40])),
  'test_01': ( 58.04, set([0, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 27, 30, 31, 33, 34])),
  'test_02': ( 34.82, set([3, 4, 6, 12, 15, 21, 23, 25, 26, 33, 34, 40])),
  'test_03': ( 32.74, set([4, 5, 10, 16, 21, 22, 26, 39])),
  'test_04': (100.00, set([0, 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 18, 26, 27, 31, 36])),
  'test_05': (  4.46, set([1, 2, 6, 11, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 30, 31])),
  'test_06': ( 69.57, set([10, 11, 15, 17, 19, 22, 26, 27, 30, 32, 38])),
  'test_07': ( 85.71, set([0, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 14, 17, 24, 34, 36, 39])),
  'test_08': (  5.73, set([0, 3, 8, 9, 13, 19, 23, 25, 28, 36, 38])),
  'test_09': ( 15.55, set([7, 15, 17, 25, 26, 30, 31, 33, 36, 38, 39])),
  'test_10': ( 12.05, set([0, 4, 13, 14, 15, 24, 31, 35, 39])),
  'test_11': ( 52.23, set([0, 3, 6, 10, 11, 13, 23, 34, 40])),
  'test_12': ( 26.79, set([0, 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 31, 32, 40])),
  'test_13': ( 16.07, set([2, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 34])),
  'test_14': ( 40.62, set([1, 2, 8, 15, 16, 19, 22, 26, 29, 31, 33, 34, 38])),
 }

贪婪排名算法的核心是对当前选择测试的子集进行排序:

  1. 至少用一个测试集覆盖尽可能大的范围。
  2. 经过第一个步骤,逐步减少测试集,同时覆盖尽可能大的范围。
  3. 给选择的测试做出一个排序,这样小数据集的测试也可以选择使用
  4. 完成上述排序后,接下来就可以优化算法的执行时间了
  5. 当然,他需要能在很大的测试集下工作。

贪婪排名算法的工作原理就是先选择当前测试集的某一项的最优解,然后寻找下一项的最优解,依次进行…

如果有两个以上的算法得出相同的执行结果,那么将以执行”时间“来比较两种算法优劣。

用下面的函数完成的算法:

Python
def greedyranker(results):
    results = results.copy()
    ranked, coveredsofar, costsofar, round = [], set(), 0, 0
    noncontributing = []
    while results:
        round += 1
        # What each test can contribute to the pool of what is covered so far
        contributions = [(len(cover - coveredsofar), -cost, test)
                         for test, (cost, cover) in sorted(results.items()) ]
        # Greedy ranking by taking the next greatest contributor                 
        delta_cover, benefit, test = max( contributions )
        if delta_cover > 0:
            ranked.append((test, delta_cover))
            cost, cover = results.pop(test)
            coveredsofar.update(cover)
            costsofar += cost
        for delta_cover, benefit, test in contributions:
            if delta_cover == 0:
                # this test cannot contribute anything
                noncontributing.append( (test, round) )
                results.pop(test)
    return coveredsofar, ranked, costsofar, noncontributing

每次while循环(第5行),下一个最好的测试会被追加到排名和测试,不会
丢弃贡献的任何额外覆盖(37-41行)

上面的函数是略显简单,所以我花了一点时间用tutor来标注,当运行时打印出它做的。

函数(有指导):

它完成同样的事情,但代码量更大,太繁冗:

def greedyranker(results, tutor=True):
    results = results.copy()
    ranked, coveredsofar, costsofar, round = [], set(), 0, 0
    noncontributing = []
    while results:
        round += 1
        # What each test can contribute to the pool of what is covered so far
        contributions = [(len(cover - coveredsofar), -cost, test)
                         for test, (cost, cover) in sorted(results.items()) ]
        if tutor:
            print('n## Round %i' % round)
            print('  Covered so far: %2i points: ' % len(coveredsofar))
            print('  Ranked so far: ' + repr([t for t, d in ranked]))
            print('  What the remaining tests can contribute, largest contributors first:')
            print('    # DELTA, BENEFIT, TEST')
            deltas = sorted(contributions, reverse=True)
            for delta_cover, benefit, test in deltas:
                print('     %2i,    %7.2f,    %s' % (delta_cover, benefit, test))
            if len(deltas)>=2 and deltas[0][0] == deltas[1][0]:
                print('  Note: This time around, more than one test gives the same')
                print('        maximum delta contribution of %i to the coverage so far'
                       % deltas[0][0])
                if deltas[0][1] != deltas[1][1]:
                    print('        we order based on the next field of minimum cost')
                    print('        (equivalent to maximum negative cost).')
                else:
                    print('        the next field of minimum cost is the same so')
                    print('        we arbitrarily order by test name.')
            zeroes = [test for delta_cover, benefit, test in deltas
                     if delta_cover == 0]
            if zeroes:
                print('  The following test(s) cannot contribute more to coverage')
                print('  and will be dropped:')
                print('    ' + ', '.join(zeroes))

        # Greedy ranking by taking the next greatest contributor                 
        delta_cover, benefit, test = max( contributions )
        if delta_cover > 0:
            ranked.append((test, delta_cover))
            cost, cover = results.pop(test)
            if tutor:
                print('  Ranking %s in round %2i giving extra coverage of: %r'
                       % (test, round, sorted(cover - coveredsofar)))
            coveredsofar.update(cover)
            costsofar += cost

        for delta_cover, benefit, test in contributions:
            if delta_cover == 0:
                # this test cannot contribute anything
                noncontributing.append( (test, round) )
                results.pop(test)
    if tutor:
        print('n## ALL TESTS NOW RANKED OR DISCARDEDn')
    return coveredsofar, ranked, costsofar, noncontributing

每一块以
if tutor开始:  添加以上代码

样值输出

调用排序并打印结果的代码是:

Python
totalcoverage, ranking, totalcost, nonranked = greedyranker(results)
print('''
A total of %i points were covered, 
using only %i of the initial %i tests,
and should take %g time units to run.

The tests in order of coverage added:

    TEST  DELTA-COVERAGE'''
 % (len(totalcoverage), len(ranking), len(results), totalcost))
print('n'.join('  %6s  %i' % r for r in ranking))

结果包含大量东西,来自tutor并且最后跟着结果。

对这个伪随机生成15条测试数据的测试案例,看起来只需要七条去产生最大的总覆盖率。(而且如果你愿意放弃三条测试,其中每个只覆盖了一个额外的点,那么15条测试中的4条就将给出92.5%的最大可能覆盖率)。

下一个会是什么

已经存在有一种新的
统一覆盖互通性标准 (Unified Coverage Interoperability Standard)以供数据库理想的存储测试覆盖率数据,贪婪排名应该被挂起到 UCIS DB,以便通过它的C-接口获得输入数据,或者也可能是替代解析文本文件的XML输出。
