Test File

[Sergey]

Hello,

It's my test file sorter. The input and output file names can be passed via first and second parameters (they are 'test' and 'Result.txt' if omitted). The record count can be different. The record size and sorted field placement are fixed.

Thank you all for submitting your test files:-

Very interesting . .

I would just like you all to know that I really do appreciate that you went ahead and prepared test code for this bid, unfortunately the nature of the project is such that I have to give everyone a fair opportunity to pit their skills (against or with) their peers.

I hope in this spirit you will understand that being a software development house we just have to choose the best quality and not just quantity.

After a long think, we decided that we will choose one or more bids. Our choice will be based on the following:-

1) Speed of the sort (on the test file provided)
2) Coders skill (experience) / Rating
3) Innovative style
4) Interaction with us and their peers on this forum.

A sort is definitely not just a SORT.

Also note the benchmark test we doing is on a local disk and a network disk. We have also ensured that a file is read and sorted on a drive that has not already the test file cached in memory. So don’t be surprised if our read test may be much slower than yours.

If at any time you feel you want to send a new file, feel free to do so, Please ensure that it's submitted on this forum before day end of Tuesday,19th July 2005.

ALL Results will be posted on Wednesday,20th July 2005.

All coders who have submitted an .exe file for testing will indeed get a strong recommendation from us whether they get the bid or not.

I will than choose one or more bids and discuss further specs on the 22nd July 2005.

Bye for now

Have FUN

Hello,

It's an improved version of the my file sorter. It supports three different file access modes:

ZskSorter.exe /1 [InputFile] [OutputFile] - reading entire records, works best on my local machine

ZskSorter.exe /2 [InputFile] [OutputFile] - reading needed fields only, can be best on the network

ZskSorter.exe /3 [InputFile] [OutputFile] - using Windows Memory Mapped File technology, very slow while my tests.

Best regards,
Sergey Zyryanov

Thank you all once again . .

It has been extremely difficult to choose a coder, however I have chosen one coder and he would be notified through the bid process.

As a token of appreciation I will give those who have submitted a program for testing $5 and a good recommendation.
