Re: Efficient function to accumulate a list of {value,coord} into array

Show all headers | View raw

Dear all,

Thanks for all your replies, I also had quite a few coming in via direct email.

Comparing a number of solutions, it seems that the level of sparsity in the resulting matrix makes a big difference as to which algorithms are more efficient.

Basically most solutions seem to boil down to doing a GatherBy to group elements of the same cell, then totalling and and feeding into SparseArray.

Bob Hanlon suggested replacing the For loop with a map construct.

In my specific circumstances, I was able to double the speed by following Bob's Map suggestion.

The other solutions while more elegant than my original code, were not that much more efficient on a dense matrix.(Although they are for a sparse matrix).

The above conclusions were tested on 144*300 with 20,000 particles.

Thanks for all your help,
Julian.
