问题
实现如下转换的最佳算法是什么？
0010 0000 => 0000 0100
具体的转换是从MSB->LSB到LSB->MSB, 所有的Bit都必须反转，那意味着，这并不是字节顺序的交换。
最佳答案
注意: 下面的算法都用C实现，但应该可以迁移到其它语言(只是不那么快的时候可别找我)。
可选方案
内存占用少(32位int，32位机器)(来源于这里)
unsigned int
reverse(register unsigned int x)
{
x = (((x & 0xaaaaaaaa) >> 1) | ((x & 0x55555555) << 1));
x = (((x & 0xcccccccc) >> 2) | ((x & 0x33333333) << 2));
x = (((x & 0xf0f0f0f0) >> 4) | ((x & 0x0f0f0f0f) << 4));
x = (((x & 0xff00ff00) >> 8) | ((x & 0x00ff00ff) << 8));
return((x >> 16) | (x << 16));
}

来自于著名的Bit Twiddling Hacks page:
你可以扩展这个算法到64位int的场景，或者为了更快的速度而牺牲多一些的内存(假设你的L1数据缓存足够大)，有一个64K的查找表且每次反转16位。
其它方案
简单
unsigned int v; // input bits to be reversed
unsigned int r = v; // r will be reversed bits of v; first get LSB of v
int s = sizeof(v) * CHAR_BIT - 1; // extra shift needed at end
for (v >>= 1; v; v >>= 1)
{
r <<= 1;
r |= v & 1;
s--;
}
r <<= s; // shift when v‘s highest bits are zero
更快(32位处理器)
unsigned char b = x;
b = ((b * 0x0802LU & 0x22110LU) | (b * 0x8020LU & 0x88440LU)) * 0x10101LU >> 16;
更快(64位处理器)
unsigned char b; // reverse this (8-bit) byte b = (b * 0x0202020202ULL & 0x010884422010ULL) % 1023;
如果你想在32位int环境这样做，那么只需要把每一个byte反转，然后再颠倒byte的次序即可。如下:
unsigned int toReverse; unsigned int reversed; unsigned char inByte0 = (toReverse & 0xFF); unsigned char inByte1 = (toReverse & 0xFF00) >> 8; unsigned char inByte2 = (toReverse & 0xFF0000) >> 16; unsigned char inByte3 = (toReverse & 0xFF000000) >> 24; reversed = (reverseBits(inByte0) << 24) | (reverseBits(inByte1) << 16) | (reverseBits(inByte2) << 8) | (reverseBits(inByte3);
结果
我测试了两个最有效的方案，查找表和按位与(第一个方案)。测试机器为一台笔记本电脑，配置为4G DDR2内存，2.4GHz的双核T7500处理器，4MB的L2缓存。我使用的是gcc 4.3.2，64位Linux。OpenMP(外加GCC绑定)被用来提高计时器的调度能力。

在不同的优化级别(Optimizations)，两个方案我都尝试了，每个级别跑3个案例，每个案例反转1亿个随机的无符号整数。对于查找表方案，bitwise hacks page上面的两种方法(Option 1 and Option 2)我都测试过。结果如下:

结论
如果你比较在意性能，那么使用查找表Option 1(Byte的寻址不出意外的慢)。如果你需要尽可能的利用完每一个Byte内存(且你也在意bit反转的性能)，那么优化后的按位与方案也还不赖。
附加说明
我知道上面的代码只是一个粗略的版本，非常欢迎大家提供一些优化的建议。以下是我知道的几点:
- 我没有权限访问ICC，那可能更快些(如果你可以测试请在评论中回复)。
- 在一些L1缓存比较大的现代机器上面，64K的查找表可能工作得更好。
-
-mtune=native对 -O2/-O3(发生符号重定义的错误)无效，所以我不相信产生的代码是为我的微架构而优化。 - SSE环境下应该有一种方法处理得更快。我不知道怎么做，但又更快的内存复制，批量的按位与，调整的指令集， 总是有一些手段的。
- 我知道仅仅x86的指令集是危险的，下面是GCC在-O3环境产生的代码，所以比我更厉害的大牛可以检查一下。
32-bit

更改: 我也尝试在自己机器上使用uint64，看看是否性能有所提高。相对于32-bit性能大概提高了10%。无论你是每次用64-bit类型去反转2个32-bit的int，或者实际上看作64-bit并分两次来反转，性能都大致相当。代码如下(对于前者，每次反转2个32-bit的int):
