Hello !
Who can explain why readind from array[][] is fast, but
writing (same place) might take a lot of time (I need many loops)
How to solve it (declare as static or force some compiler (VC 6.0)
options) ??? Thanks in advance
Here is example (but critical !!!) code...
void main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
unsigned char r[360][180], dat2, i,j,k;
int p;
for (p=0; p<650; p++) {
for (i=0; i<200; i++) {
for (j=0; j<200; j++) {
for (k=0; k<100; k++) {
dat2=r[j][i]; dat2=r[j][i]; dat2=r[j][i];
// r[j][i]=dat2; r[j][i]=dat2; r[j][i]=dat2;
// critical point: without it almost no execution time
// with it - 6 seconds on P3-1000 ???
}
}
}
}
}

My first guess is that the compiler is (correctly) optimizing out your reads
since the resulting value is never used for anything.

Aren't you accessing outside your array bounds?

One possible answer could be the cache. Another answer could be the
optimization: if you don't use the values you read in the compiler may omit
the loop completely.
Some nice performance tips:
* use unsigned int / size_t - variables for loop indicies.
* use Blitz++ arrays or 1D-valarrays for storing the data:
valarray<unsign ed char> r(360*180);
r[180*row+column]=value;
* make usage of the superscalar architecture / SIMD calls
for(size_t i=0;i < 100;i++) value += data[i];
to
sum1=sum2=sum3= sum4=0.0;
for(size_t i=0;i < 100; i+=4)
{
sum1 += data[i];
sum2 += data[i+1];
sum3 += data[i+2];
sum4 += data[i+3];
}
sum1 += (sum2 + sum3 + sum4);
Although its for Athlons some nice tips are still usuable on
other modern machines: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...te_papers_and_

Nah, 'j' never goes above 199, which is well within 0..359 space,
so when 'i' goes above 179 (for only 20), he's not stepping on any
other memory, only the next 20 elements of the 'j+1' array or the
'r' superarray.

Hello,
Say I have 1000 text files and each is a list of 32768 integers.
I have written a C program to read this data into a large matrix. I am
using fopen in combination with fscanf to read the data in. However, it
takes about 20 seconds to complete and I wonder if there is a faster way.
For example, I found that I could use 'fread' to read the data into a

Hi
I am trying to save settings of controls on my form to a file so I can read
them back later and recreate the controls on the form. I have figured out
how to go through all controls and get their properties (see code below).
What I am not sure is; how and what type of file format I need to save the
info to and how to read it back. Would appreciate any help on that. A code
snippet would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
