compact-word-vectors
This a (GHC) Haskell library, which implements a data structure designed to store vectors of small integers with minimal memory overhead.
For vectors of non-negative integers, see the module WordVec; for signed
integers (which is a bit slower) see IntVec. The underlying raw binary storage
is implemented in Blob.
For example the list [1..14] :: [Int] consumes 560 bytes (70 words) on
a 64 bit machine, while the corresponding WordVec takes only
16 bytes (2 words), and the one corresponding to [101..115] still only
24 bytes (3 words).
Unboxed arrays (UArray) or unboxed vectors (Data.Vector.Unboxed)
are better than lists, as they only have a constant overhead, but those
constants are big: 13 words (104 bytes on 64 bit) for unboxed arrays,
and 6 words (48 bytes) for unboxed vectors. And you still have to select
the number of bits per element in advance.
Installation
It's on Hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/compact-word-vectors So you can install it using cabal:
$ cabal update
$ cabal install --lib compact-word-vectors
