java.dfs inquisition
By Burunduk1, history, 6 years ago, translation, In English

I'd like to know, how to launch dfs on java, to make it work pretty fast. $$$n = 2\,300\,000$$$.

Submit 54911336, says that on codeforces (windows, java32 1.8.0_162) time in dfs = 126ms.

Locally (windows, java64 11.0.1) i have time in dfs = 13913ms. The difference is 100 times!

Petr (windows, java 1.8.0_181) gets 15 seconds.

Command line options are java -XX:NewRatio=5 -Xms8M -Xmx512M -Xss64M. Taken from here.

How long it works for whom? (i'm interested in time, os/processor, java version, command line options)

How to reach 126ms locally?

UPD:
Locally if i add -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 (help) i get 387ms.
Command line options "exactly as on codeforces" locally on java64 give me the same time 13913ms $$$\pm\varepsilon$$$. So it's important to use java32.

Difference between your local run "exactly as on codeforces" and real Codeforces run is explained with the fact that locally you use 64-bit JRE, but we use 32-bit JRE.

    Thanks. I'll fix the post.

      That explains everything, by the way. 32bit VM only has C1 support (C2 is not supported for 32 bits VMs), so by running 64bit VM with -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 you essentially run it with the same compiler (C1 only) but in 64bit mode.

I believe that with -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 but without -XX:+UseSerialGC the total consumed cpu time is greater than measured in your code because GC will effectively use multiple threads. I think that with -XX:+UseSerialGC the total running time can grow a little but the total consumed cpu time will decrease noticeably. For sure, all online judges measure total time.
