Futhark
As always with futhark, first the script that converts the input into futhark-format:
sed script and example output
this converts the example to this:
[ [3, 5], [10, 14], [16, 20], [12, 18], ] [ 1, 5, 8, 11, 17, 32, ]I ended up writing a RangeSet implementation, currently considering publishing this as a library later. The RangeSet-Implementation makes it very large, but futhark makes it run blazingly fast 🚀 . /s
Some fiddling with existential size types made me learn the type system even better.
I discovered that futhark has a
multicore-backend, which makes it run faster. :]Solution with RangeSet implementation
