Re: [Bug-apl] Fun With Benchmarks

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi, the to_value() function is used for the general case of f/B where f is, for example, a user-defined function, or B is nested. In the special case where f is a built-in scalar function and B is simple, one can compute f/B without using to_value() and by calling the corresponding Cell-level function (for f) directly. This approach is already implemented for the inner and outer products of built-in scalar functions, but not yet for reduction and scan. If someone wants to fix this, please let me know. Otherwise I will look into it after my vacation. /// Jürgen On 08/23/2015 03:59 PM, Elias Mårtenson wrote: On 23 August 2015 at 21:42, fred <fred_wei...@hotmail.com> wrote: It strikes me that memoizing to_value may be useful. On second thought, it wouldn't be that useful. But, to_value should be optimized. I'll have a look (when I get cycles). In this particular case the cell content are numbers, right? So every call to Cell::to_value()  (most of the 66007104 of them) would be creating a new Value to hold it, yes? This would also be responsible for 66007104 Value_P destructor calls. Regards, Elias
