Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-165: ---------------------------------------- Also, perhaps there is a snapshot available for MTJ in Commons Math? > Using better primitives hash for sparse vector for performance gains > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-165 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-165 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Matrix > Affects Versions: 0.2 > Reporter: Shashikant Kore > Fix For: 0.2 > > Attachments: mahout-165.patch > > > In SparseVector, we need primitives hash map for index and values. The > present implementation of this hash map is not as efficient as some of the > other implementations in non-Apache projects. > In an experiment, I found that, for get/set operations, the primitive hash of > Colt performance an order of magnitude better than OrderedIntDoubleMapping. > For iteration it is 2x slower, though. > Using Colt in Sparsevector improved performance of canopy generation. For an > experimental dataset, the current implementation takes 50 minutes. Using > Colt, reduces this duration to 19-20 minutes. That's 60% reduction in the > delay. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
