A pair of solvers for the Weighted Interval Scheduling Problem.
Features
- Zero external dependencies, although requires an allocator (not optional yet).
- Flexible: anything implementing
Ord + Add + Clone
may be thought of as an interval bound or a weight type. - Efficient: running in
O(n log n)
. - Fast: cache-aware, zero-reallocation APIs are available.

Fast (Amortized Allocation) Example
// our goal is to allocate once and reuse the same buffers
// measure (or apply a guess) to avoid having to resize the vector.
let max_interval_count = problems.iter().map(|i| i.len()).max();
// we can say with certainty that the memo buffer
// will never need to be larger than the largest input size.
let mut memo = vec![0u8; max_interval_count];
// we don't know how big the solution set will be,
// but it can't be larger than the largest input size.
let mut soln = Vec::with_capacity(max_interval_count);
for intervals in problems {
// perhaps we know our intervals to be *almost* sorted,
// so we choose to use an algorithm tuned for this case.
sort(&mut intervals);
// we don't strictly need to, but we clear the old solution set,
// so that only the optimal set from this run ends up in the buffer.
soln.clear();
sorted(
&intervals,
&mut memo,
&mut soln
);
// we can now use the `soln` buffer before it's recycled
