This is the content of the lecture we had on +Monday, 16 March 2009. + +The "fringe" of a tree is defined to be the ordered list of terminal +leaves of the tree encountered when the tree is traversed in some +standard order, say depth-first left-to-right. We can easily compute +the fringe of a tree represented as a list structure. In the programs +that follow we add an explicit test to exclude the empty list from the +answer: + + (define (fringe subtree) + (cond ((pair? subtree) + (append (fringe (car subtree)) + (fringe (cdr subtree)))) + ((null? subtree) '()) + (else (list subtree)))) + +Where append is usually defined as: + + (define (append l1 l2) + (if (pair? l1) + (cons (car l1) (append (cdr l1) l2)) + l2)) + +So the fringe of a typical tree is: + +#| + (fringe '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h))))) + ;Value: (a b c d e f g h) + + (fringe '(a b c ((d) () e) (f (g (h))))) + ;Value: (a b c d e f g h) +|# + +That was a horribly inefficient computation, because append keeps +copying parts of the fringe over and over. + +------------- +Problem 8.1: + +What is the worst-case algorithmic complexity of this procedure in +both time and space? This is a bit tricky because your answer depends +on how you decide to measure the input argument. Is it the length of +the fringe? The number of nodes? Is the depth of the tree relevant? +So make sure you explain your answer clearly. + +For example, O(N), O(N lg N), O(N^2), etc. might all be correct +depending on how you define N. Please be specific. +------------- + + +Here is a nicer procedure that computes the fringe, without any +nasty re-copying. + + (define (fringe subtree) + (define (walk subtree ans) + (cond ((pair? subtree) + (walk (car subtree) + (walk (cdr subtree) ans))) + ((null? subtree) ans) + (else (cons subtree ans)))) + (walk subtree '())) + +So the "same fringe" problem appears really simple: + + (define (same-fringe? tree1 tree2) + (equal? (fringe tree1) (fringe tree2))) + +Indeed, this works: + + #| + (same-fringe? '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (f (g (h))))) + ;Value: #t + + (same-fringe? '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (g (f (h))))) + ;Value: #f + |# + +Unfortunately, this requires computing the entire fringe of each tree +before comparing the fringes. Suppose that the trees were very big, +but that they were likely to differ early in the fringe. This would +be a terrible strategy. We would rather have a way of generating the +next element of the fringe of each tree only as needed to compare them. + +One way to do this is with "lazy evaluation". This method requires +examining only as much of the input trees as is necessary to decide +when two fringes are not the same: + + (define (lazy-fringe subtree) + (cond ((pair? subtree) + (stream-append-deferred (lazy-fringe (car subtree)) + (lambda () (lazy-fringe (cdr subtree))))) + ((null? subtree) the-empty-stream) + (else (stream subtree)))) + + (define (lazy-same-fringe? tree1 tree2) + (let lp ((f1 (lazy-fringe tree1)) + (f2 (lazy-fringe tree2))) + (cond ((and (stream-null? f1) (stream-null? f2)) #t) + ((or (stream-null? f1) (stream-null? f2)) #f) + ((eq? (stream-car f1) (stream-car f2)) + (lp (stream-cdr f1) (stream-cdr f2))) + (else #f)))) + + (define (stream-append-deferred stream1 stream2-thunk) + (if (stream-pair? stream1) + (cons-stream (stream-car stream1) + (stream-append-deferred (stream-cdr stream1) + stream2-thunk)) + (stream2-thunk))) + + (define the-empty-stream (stream)) + + #| + (lazy-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (f (g (h))))) + ;Value: #t + + (lazy-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (g (f (h))))) + ;Value: #f + |# + +------------- +Problem 8.2: + +This implementation of fringe has the same problem of copying the +stream that our original fringe program had copying the list. + +A. What would have gone wrong had we not thunkified the second argument + to be appended and instead just used the stream-append procedure: + + (define (stream-append stream1 stream2) + (if (stream-pair? stream1) + (cons-stream (stream-car stream1) + (stream-append (stream-cdr stream1) stream2)) + stream2)) + +B. Redefine lazy-fringe to be a stream-based program that eliminates this + re-copying while avoiding unnecessary subtree fringe generation, using + a technique similar to the "nicer" (walk-based) fringe above. + [Hint: Consider the cons-stream special form with deferred cdr walk.] +------------- + +An alternative incremental idea is to make coroutines that generate +the fringes, using an explicit continuation argument and local state. + +Notice that in the following code we invent a special object *done*. +Because it is a newly consed list, this object is eq? only to itself, +so it cannot be confused with any other object. This is a very common +device for making unique objects. + + (define *done* (list '*done*)) + + (define (coroutine-fringe-generator tree) + (define (resume-thunk) + (walk tree (lambda () *done*))) + (define (walk subtree continue) + (cond ((null? subtree) + (continue)) + ((pair? subtree) + (walk (car subtree) + (lambda () + (walk (cdr subtree) + continue)))) + (else + (set! resume-thunk continue) + subtree))) + (lambda () (resume-thunk))) + + (define (coroutine-same-fringe? tree1 tree2) + (let ((f1 (coroutine-fringe-generator tree1)) + (f2 (coroutine-fringe-generator tree2))) + (let lp ((x1 (f1)) (x2 (f2))) + (cond ((and (eq? x1 *done*) (eq? x2 *done*)) #t) + ((or (eq? x1 *done*) (eq? x2 *done*)) #f) + ((eq? x1 x2) (lp (f1) (f2))) + (else #f))))) + +Also notice the peculiar SET! assignment in this code. This makes it +possible for the procedures f1 and f2 (two distinct results of calling +the fringe generator) to maintain independent resume continuations +each time they are re-invoked to proceed generating their fringes. +This assignment is what gives each new fringe generator its own +dynamic local state. + + #| + (coroutine-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (f (g (h))))) + ;Value: #t + + (coroutine-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (g (f (h))))) + ;Value: #f + |# + +------------- +Problem 8.3: + +Why is it necessary to use the expression "(lambda () (resume-thunk))" +rather than just "resume-thunk" as the returned value of the fringe +generator? Aren't they the same, by the eta rule of lambda calculus? +------------- + +We can abstract this control structure, using continuations. Now +things get very complicated. Here, a procedure that is to be used as +a coroutine takes an argument: return. Its value is a thunk that can +be called to start the coroutine computing. + +When the execution of the coroutine thunk calls the return procedure +that was passed to its creator, it saves its state as a new thunk that +invokes the continuation of the return. It then invokes a procedure +with a value that the caller of the thunk will see as the value of the +thunk. + + (define (make-coroutine his-job) ;; his-job ::= (.\ (return) ...) + (let ((resume-thunk) (k_yield)) + + (define (my-job value) + (call-with-current-continuation + (lambda (k_his-job) + (set! resume-thunk (lambda () (k_his-job unspecific))) + (k_yield value)))) + + (define (his-job-coroutine-thunk) + (call-with-current-continuation + (lambda (k_my-job) + (set! k_yield k_my-job) + (resume-thunk)))) + + (set! resume-thunk (his-job my-job)) + + his-job-coroutine-thunk)) + +With this abstraction, we can make a fringe generator producer and +fringe comparator consumer rather elegantly: + + (define *done* (list '*done*)) + + (define (acs-coroutine-same-fringe? tree1 tree2) + (let ((f1 (make-coroutine (acs-coroutine-fringe-generator tree1))) + (f2 (make-coroutine (acs-coroutine-fringe-generator tree2)))) + (let lp ((x1 (f1)) (x2 (f2))) + (cond ((and (eq? x1 *done*) (eq? x2 *done*)) #t) + ((or (eq? x1 *done*) (eq? x2 *done*)) #f) + ((eq? x1 x2) (lp (f1) (f2))) + (else #f))))) + + (define (acs-coroutine-fringe-generator tree) + (lambda (return) + + (define (lp tree) + (cond ((pair? tree) + (lp (car tree)) + (lp (cdr tree))) + ((null? tree) unspecific) + (else + (return tree)))) + + (define (initial-generation-coroutine-thunk) + (lp tree) + (return *done*)) + + initial-generation-coroutine-thunk)) + + #| + (acs-coroutine-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (f (g (h))))) + ;Value: #t + + (acs-coroutine-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (g (f (h))))) + ;Value: #f + + (acs-coroutine-same-fringe? + '((a b) c ((d)) e (f ((g h)))) + '(a b c ((d) () e) (g (f )))) + ;Value: #f + |# + +------------- +Problem 8.4: + +Suppose I accidentally left out the return when done, so that the last +line of the fringe generator's initial generation coroutine thunk were +just *done* rather than "(return *done*)". What behavior would I get? +Why? (I actually made this mistake. It took me about a 1/2 hour to +figure out what went wrong! --GJS) +------------- + + + Communication among Threads + +Now that we are all warmed up about continuations, you are ready to +look at the time-sharing thread code in "conspire.scm", and the +parallel execution code in "try-two-ways.scm". The time-sharing +monitor can easily implement coroutines. You have an example with an +explicit thread-yield in the first simple example in "conspire.scm". +The return procedure above can be thought of as a thread yield. +However, the coroutines in the time-shared environment do not easily +communicate except through shared variables. + +Time-sharing systems, such as GNU/Linux, provide explicit mechanisms, +such as pipes, to make it easy for processes to communicate. A pipe is +basically a FIFO communication channel which provides a reader and a +writer. The writer puts things into the pipe and the reader takes +them out. If we had pipes in conspire we could write the same-fringe? +program as follows: + + (define *done* (list '*done*)) + + (define (piped-same-fringe? tree1 tree2) + (let ((p1 (make-pipe)) (p2 (make-pipe))) + (let ((thread1 + (conspire:make-thread + conspire:runnable + (lambda () + (piped-fringe-generator tree1 (pipe-writer p1))))) + (thread2 + (conspire:make-thread + conspire:runnable + (lambda () + (piped-fringe-generator tree2 (pipe-writer p2))))) + (f1 (pipe-reader p1)) + (f2 (pipe-reader p2))) + (let lp ((x1 (f1)) (x2 (f2))) + (cond ((and (eq? x1 *done*) (eq? x2 *done*)) #t) + ((or (eq? x1 *done*) (eq? x2 *done*)) #f) + ((eq? x1 x2) (lp (f1) (f2))) + (else #f)))))) + + (define (piped-fringe-generator tree return) + (define (lp tree) + (cond ((pair? tree) + (lp (car tree)) + (lp (cdr tree))) + ((null? tree) unspecific) + (else + (return tree)))) + (lp tree) + (return *done*)) + +------------- +Problem 8.5: + +Implement the pipe mechanism implied by the program above.
