I have a piece of code, which I'm trying to make run faster. I've used the profiler and most of the time is spent on the following snippet:
for det = 1:N
if detect_vec(det)
result((det+1):(det+deadTime), m0, h) = zeros([1, deadTime]);
end
end
What this is doing is iterating over an array detect_vec which is binary data - each element is a 1 or a 0. If there is a 1, it then sets any other 1s following it to 0. deadTime is a variable which defines how many values after a 1 should be set to 0.
I'm sure there must be a way to make this more efficient; N is very large and so it makes sense that the profiler says the code spends most of its time here. I've tried using the find function by doing the following;
for det = find(detect_vec)
if detect_vec(det)
result((det+1):(det+deadTime), m0, h) = zeros([1, deadTime]);
end
end
This code runs without error but returns many more 1s than I'm expecting, and isn't really any quicker.
Any advice would be great.
