What would be the best way to manage a large number of instances of the same class in MATLAB?
Using the naive method gives absorptive results:
classdef Request
properties
num=7;
end
methods
function f=foo(this)
f = this.num + 4;
end
end
end
>> a=[];
>> tic,for i=1:1000 a=[a Request];end;toc
Elapsed time is 5.426852 seconds.
>> tic,for i=1:1000 a=[a Request];end;toc
Elapsed time is 31.261500 seconds.
Inheritance of the handle significantly improves the results:
classdef RequestH < handle
properties
num=7;
end
methods
function f=foo(this)
f = this.num + 4;
end
end
end
>> tic,for i=1:1000 a=[a RequestH];end;toc
Elapsed time is 0.097472 seconds.
>> tic,for i=1:1000 a=[a RequestH];end;toc
Elapsed time is 0.134007 seconds.
>> tic,for i=1:1000 a=[a RequestH];end;toc
Elapsed time is 0.174573 seconds.
but still not acceptable performance, especially given the increase in redistribution costs
Is there a way to reassign an array of classes? Any ideas on how to effectively manage the number of objects?
Thanks
