NAME

Path::Hilbert::XS - XS implementation of a Hilbert Path algorithm

VERSION

0.003

SYNOPSIS

    use Path::Hilbert::XS;

    my ($x, $y) = d2xy(16, 127);
    my $d = xy2d(16, $x, $y);
    die unless $d == 127;

DESCRIPTION

This implements Path::Hilbert in XS for speed and awesomesauceness.

The OO interface is not available (yet?).

WHY

While Path::Hilbert is a solid module, we just wanted speed when dealing with abundant amount of data.

Here are some statistics, generated using the bundled tools/benchmark.pl script:

    -- d2xy --
    PP: Rounded run time per iteration: 1.4496e-05 +/- 4.8e-08 (0.3%)
