list manipulation - Dramatic speed difference of code on Matlab and Mathematica



Background: I was trying to convert a Matlab code (fluid simulation, SPH method) into a Mathematica one, but the speed difference is huge.


Matlab code:


function s = initializeDensity2(s)
nTotal   = s.params.nTotal;  %# particles
h    = s.params.h;
h2Sq = (2*h)^2;
for ind1 = 1:nTotal  %loop over all receiving particles; one at a time
%particle i is the receiving particle; the host particle
%particle j is the sending particle
xi = s.particles.pos(ind1,1);

yi = s.particles.pos(ind1,2);
xj = s.particles.pos(:,1); %all others
yj = s.particles.pos(:,2); %all others
mj = s.particles.mass; %all others
rSq = (xi-xj).^2+(yi-yj).^2;
%Boolean mask returns values where r^2 < (2h)^2
mask1 = rSqrSq   = rSq(mask1);
mTemp = mj(mask1);
densityTemp = mTemp.*liuQuartic(sqrt(rSq),h);

s.particles.density(ind1) = sum(densityTemp);
end

And the corresponding Mathematica code:


Needs["HierarchicalClustering`"]
computeDistance[pos_] := 
DistanceMatrix[pos, DistanceFunction -> EuclideanDistance];
initializeDensity[distance_] := 
uniMass*Total/@(liuQuartic[#,h]&/@Pick[distance,Boole[Map[#<2h&,distance,{2}]],1])
initializeDensity[computeDistance[totalPos]]


The data are coordinates of 1119 points, in the form of {{x1,y1},{x2,y2}...}, stored in s.particles.pos and totalPos respectively. And liuQuartic is just a polynomial function. The complete Matlab code is way more than this, but it can run about 160 complete time steps in 60 seconds, whereas the Mathematica code listed above alone takes about 3 seconds to run. I don't know why there is such huge speed difference. Any thoughts is appreciated. Thanks.


Edit:


The liuQuartic is defined as


liuQuartic[r_,h_]:=15/(7Pi*h^2) (2/3-(9r^2)/(8h^2)+(19r^3)/(24h^3)-(5r^4)/(32h^4))

and example data can be obtained by


h=2*10^-3;conWidth=0.4;conHeight=0.16;totalStep=6000;uniDensity=1000;uniMass=1000*Pi*h^2;refDensity=1400;gamma=7;vf=0.07;eta=0.01;cs=vf/eta;B=refDensity*cs^2/gamma;gravity=-9.8;mu=0.02;beta=0.15;dt=0.00005;epsilon=0.5;

iniFreePts=Block[{},Table[{-conWidth/3+i,1.95h+j},{i,10h,conWidth/3-2h,1.5h},{j,0,0.05,1.5h}]//Flatten[#,1]&];

leftWallIniPts=Block[{x,y},y=Table[i,{i,conHeight/2-0.5h,0.2h,-0.5h}];x=ConstantArray[-conWidth/3,Length[y]];Thread[List[x,y]]];
botWallIniPts=Block[{x,y},x=Table[i,{i,-conWidth/3,-0.4h,h}];y=ConstantArray[0,Length[x]];Thread[List[x,y]]];
incWallIniPts=Block[{x,y},Table[{i,0.2125i},{i,0,(2conWidth)/3,h}]];
rightWallIniPts=Block[{x,y},y=Table[i,{i,Last[incWallIniPts][[2]]+h,conHeight/2,h}];x=ConstantArray[Last[incWallIniPts][[1]],Length[y]];Thread[List[x,y]]];
topWallIniPts=Block[{x,y},x=Table[i,{i,-conWidth/3+0.7h,(2conWidth)/3-0.7h,h}];y=ConstantArray[conHeight/2,Length[x]];Thread[List[x,y]]];
freePos = iniFreePts;
wallPos = leftWallIniPts~Join~botWallIniPts~Join~incWallIniPts~Join~rightWallIniPts~Join~topWallIniPts;
totalPos = freePos~Join~wallPos;

where conWidth=0.4, conHeight=0.16 and h=0.002




Answer



Modify the calculation order a little to avoid ragged array and then make use of Listable and Compile:


computeDistance[pos_] := DistanceMatrix[pos, DistanceFunction -> EuclideanDistance]
liuQuartic = {r, h} \[Function] 
   15/(7 Pi*h^2) (2/3 - (9 r^2)/(8 h^2) + (19 r^3)/(24 h^3) - (5 r^4)/(32 h^4));
initializeDensity = 
  With[{l = liuQuartic, m = uniMass}, 
   Compile[{{d, _Real, 2}, {h, _Real}}, m Total@Transpose[l[d, h] UnitStep[2 h - d]]]];
new = initializeDensity[computeDistance[N@totalPos], h]; // AbsoluteTiming


Tested with your new added sample data, my code ran for 0.390000 s while the original code ran for 4.851600 s and ybeltukov's code ran for 0.813200 s on my machine.


If you have a C compiler installed, the following code


computeDistance[pos_] := DistanceMatrix[pos, DistanceFunction -> EuclideanDistance]
liuQuartic = {r, h} \[Function] 
   15/(7 Pi*h^2) (2/3 - (9 r^2)/(8 h^2) + (19 r^3)/(24 h^3) - (5 r^4)/(32 h^4));
initializeDensity = 
  With[{l = liuQuartic, m = uniMass, g = Compile`GetElement}, 
   Compile[{{d, _Real, 2}, {h, _Real}}, 
    Module[{b1, b2}, {b1, b2} = Dimensions@d; 
     m Table[Sum[If[2 h > g[d, i, j], l[g[d, i, j], h], 0.], {j, b2}], {i, b1}]], 

      CompilationTarget -> "C", RuntimeOptions -> "Speed"]];

will give you a 2X speedup once again. Notice the C compiler is necessary, see this post for some more details.

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[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
