Efficient Attention Mechanisms

Standard softmax attention costs O(n²) in sequence length because every token compares with every other token.

Complexity Analysis Quick Reference

Use an operation budget of about 10^8 simple operations per second on typical online judges; always multiply by the time limit and number of test files if known.

Debugging Strategies for CP

Systematic debugging beats guesswork: always re-read the statement, re-check constraints, and verify the output format before touching code.

Small-to-Large Principle

Small-to-large means always merge the smaller container into the larger one to keep total work low.

Breadth-First Search (BFS)

Breadth-First Search (BFS) explores a graph level by level, visiting all vertices at distance d from the source before any at distance d+1.

0-1 BFS

0-1 BFS is a shortest path algorithm specialized for graphs whose edge weights are only 0 or 1.

Prefix Sum and Difference Array

Prefix sums precompute running totals so any range sum [l, r] can be answered in O(1) time as prefix[r] - prefix[l-1].

Sorting Algorithms

Sorting arranges items into a chosen order so that searching, grouping, and further algorithms become faster and simpler.
