The absolutely fastest nth fibonacci number

time echo 'n=70332;m=(n+1)/2;a=0;b=1;i=0;while(m){e[i++]=m%2;m/=2};while(i--){c=a*a;a=c+2*a*b;b=c+b*b;if(e[i]){t=a;a+=b;b=t}};if(n%2)a*a+b*b;if(!n%2)a*(a+2*b)' | bc
Calculates nth Fibonacci number for all n>=0, (much faster than matrix power algorithm from http://everything2.com/title/Compute+Fibonacci+numbers+FAST%2521 ) n=70332 is the biggest value at http://bigprimes.net/archive/fibonacci/ (corresponds to n=70331 there), this calculates it in less than a second, even on a netbook. UPDATE: Now even faster! Uses recurrence relation for F(2n), see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number#Matrix_form n is now adjusted to match Fn at wikipedia, so bigprimes.net table is offset by 1. UPDATE2: Probably fastest possible now ;), uses a simple monoid operation: uses monoid (a,b).(x,y)=(ax+bx+ay,ax+by) with identity (0,1), and recursion relations: F(2n-1)=Fn*Fn+F(n-1)*F(n-1) F(2n)=Fn*(2*F(n-1)+Fn) then apply fast exponentiation to (1,0)^n = (Fn,F(n-1)) . Note that: (1,0)^-1=(1,-1) so (a,b).(1,0) = (a+b,a) and (a,b)/(1,0)=(a,b).(1,0)^-1=(b,a-b) So we can also use a NAF representation to do the exponentiation,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-adjacent_form , it's also very fast (about the same, depends on n): time echo 'n=70332;m=(n+1)/2;a=0;b=1;i=0;while(m>0){z=0;if(m%2)z=2-(m%4);m=(m-z)/2;e[i++]=z};while(i--){c=a*a;a=c+2*a*b;b=c+b*b;if(e[i]>0){t=a;a+=b;b=t};if(e[i]<0){t=a;a=b;b=t-b}};if(n%2)a*a+b*b;if(!n%2)a*(a+2*b)' | bc

  • EDIT: Trolling crap removed ;) takes approx 6 secs on a Core 2 Duo @ 2GHz, and 15 secs on atom based netbooks! uses monoid (a,b).(x,y)=(ax+bx+ay,ax+by) with identity (0,1), and recursion relations: F(2n-1)=Fn*Fn+F(n-1)*F(n-1) F(2n)=(Fn+2*F(n-1))*Fn then apply fast exponentiation to (1,0)^n = (Fn,F(n-1)) .

What Others Think

I already pwnd you with C.
hank · 787 weeks ago
Nope, yours is slower on both machines I tested, in fact it's 10secs slower on a Core 2 Duo that's over 30% slower. So you're attempt, as well as being a cheat, was pretty rubbish, I have to say. Still, it's unfair on you guys to challenge you to to a contest against my colossal skill, you are all meer ants to me.

n=1000000; time bc <<< 'n='$n';m=(n-1)/2;a=1;b=1;d=0;w=a;x=b;y=b;z=d;while(1){if(m%2){s=w*b+x*d;t=y*b+z*d;w=w*a+x*b;if(!--m)break;x=s;y=y*a+z*b;z=t};f=a+d;g=b*b;a=a*a+g;b*=f;d=g+d*d;m/=2};if(n%2)s*s+t*t;if(!n%2)(t+w)*s;' is faster

yes ok, I should have spotted that the c variable was superfluous. The caclulation can in fact be made much faster than this, but a deal is a deal. Post your bank account details and I'll transfer an amount equal to a random fibonacci number.
Escher · 786 weeks and 4 days ago
Updated to be even faster. Almost as fast as mathematica now! Can only be beaten by applying a shortest path algorithm to the exponentiation, which would make it unwieldy as a single shell command line.
