6.7.5.4 : What hapened if I use python list instead of numpy array for naive implementation ?

This might looks like a stupid test but let's see what will hapened.

Now, let's write the hadamardListPython.py file :

We need also to import several packages :
1
2
3
import sys
import numpy as np
import astericshpc
The function to evaluate performances is built the same way such as the C++ one :
1
2
3
4
5

def getTimeFunctionSize(nbRepetition, nbElement):
	tabX = np.asarray(np.random.random(nbElement), dtype=np.float32)
	tabY = np.asarray(np.random.random(nbElement), dtype=np.float32)
	tabRes = np.zeros(nbElement, dtype=np.float32)
	
	listX = []
	listY = []
	listRes = []
	for i in range(0,nbElement):
		listX.append(tabX[i])
		listY.append(tabY[i])
		listRes.append(tabRes[i]);
	
	timeBegin = astericshpc.rdtsc()
	for i in range(0, nbRepetition):
		for j in range(0, nbElement):
			listRes[j] = listX[j]*listY[j]
	
	timeEnd = astericshpc.rdtsc()
	elapsedTime = float(timeEnd - timeBegin)/float(nbRepetition)
	elapsedTimePerElement = elapsedTime/float(nbElement)
	print("nbElement =",nbElement,", elapsedTimePerElement =",elapsedTimePerElement,"cy/el",", elapsedTime =",elapsedTime,"cy")
	print(str(nbElement) + "\t" + str(elapsedTimePerElement) + "\t" + str(elapsedTime),file=sys.stderr)
Then, we have a function to make all the points with a list of sizes :
1
2
3
def makeElapsedTimeValue(listSize, nbRepetition):
	for val in listSize:
		getTimeFunctionSize(nbRepetition, val)
Finally, we call the performances tests only if this script is executed as a main file and not if it is included by an other file :
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
if __name__ == "__main__":
	listSize = [1000,
			1600,
			2000,
			2400,
			2664,
			3000,
			4000,
			5000,
			10000]
	makeElapsedTimeValue(listSize, 10000)
