compile - How to use a matrix variable for a compiled function


I want to compile the following function which takes a matrix variable.


ClusterFind = 
Compile[{{Inte, _Real}, {Matrix}},
Map[If[Last@# == Inte, Take[#, 4]] &, Matrix], CompilationTarget -> "C",
RuntimeAttributes -> {Listable}, Parallelization -> True];


Here Matrix is a $m\times n$ matrix of real,integer or complex numbers. I also would like to know if it is possible to compile without knowing the dimension of the variable matrix beforehand. Can the Matrix in the above example be of PackedArray data type?


UPDATE


Thanks for the suggestions. I found the following compiled version most efficient as far as speed is concerned.


ClusterFind = 
Compile[{{Inte, _Real}, {Matrix, _Complex, 2}},
Take[Select[Matrix, (Last@# == Inte) &], All, 4],
CompilationTarget -> "C"];

BR




Answer



Not only can Matrix be a PackedArray, it must be a PackedArray. However, it will be packed for you if necessary before the compiled code is called.


The following code is substantially faster than that given by acl above and does not require any post-processing of the output, but is still sub-optimal in terms of requiring CopyTensor calls and using a rather larger working set than one would think necessary. Perhaps these limitations can be lifted, but after a brief survey of possible implementations I didn't find a way better than this (though note that I didn't try anything with Internal`Bag).


clusterFind = Compile[{{inte, _Real, 0}, {matrix, _Complex, 2}},
Module[{tmp = matrix[[All, {1, 2, 3, 4, -1}]]},
Select[tmp, Last[#] == inte &][[All, ;; -2]]
], RuntimeAttributes -> Listable, Parallelization -> True
];

An example of the improved timings:



range = {0, 10};
data = RandomInteger[range, {1*^5, 100}];

acl's version:


Timing[
cf4[RandomInteger[range], data];
]

producing: {2.297, Null}


My version:



Timing[
clusterFind[RandomInteger[range], data];
]

which gives {0.047, Null}.


Note that the above timings are not for C-compiled versions of the two functions; compilation to C does not help very much as there is not much computational work to be done in this process anyway and most of the timing consists of copying or extracting parts of tensors. Also, I should mention that RuntimeAttributes -> Listable and Parallelization -> True do not really buy you anything here unless you are operating on a list of matrices.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...
