Hello,
I have a quite large project in Matlab, which involves object oriented programming. While running some tests I have noticed that parts of the code actually run significantly faster in debug mode. That is, I set a breakpoint at a line of code that whill never be executed, and boom the code executes 3 times faster.
The parts where the difference seems to occur are all in constructing a large, sparse matrix. E.g., a typical assignment for setting the values of a column:
obj.Hcoupling(coupledStates, k) = 0.5;
Hcoupling is a sparse matrix, coupledStates is a list of indices, k is a scalar. Can anybody tell me what is going on? How can this be possible? And, most importantly, how can I get this 3x speed increase in my normal program execution :-)
Thanks in advance,
Rick
PS. This "question form" with its fancy preview is HELL
