I don't think so.. It happens on repeat function runs. I also updated to use benchmarktools.jl Even though, it takes so long (> 10 mins) on 0.5.0 I've only been patient enough for it to complete once...
using BenchmarkTools function testf(x) r = squeeze(mean(x[:,:,1:80,:,:,56:800],(1,2,3,4,5)),(1,2,3,4,5)); end x = rand(10,10,100,4,4,1000) #Dummy array @benchmark testf(x) In 0.5.0 I get the following (with huge memory usage): BenchmarkTools.Trial: samples: 1 evals/sample: 1 time tolerance: 5.00% memory tolerance: 1.00% memory estimate: 23.36 gb allocs estimate: 1043200022 minimum time: 177.94 s (1.34% GC) median time: 177.94 s (1.34% GC) mean time: 177.94 s (1.34% GC) maximum time: 177.94 s (1.34% GC) In 0.4.7 I get: BenchmarkTools.Trial: samples: 11 evals/sample: 1 time tolerance: 5.00% memory tolerance: 1.00% memory estimate: 727.55 mb allocs estimate: 79 minimum time: 425.82 ms (0.06% GC) median time: 485.95 ms (11.31% GC) mean time: 482.67 ms (10.37% GC) maximum time: 503.27 ms (11.22% GC) On Monday, 31 October 2016 19:07:28 UTC-4, Yichao Yu wrote: > > On Mon, Oct 31, 2016 at 6:34 PM, Ian Butterworth > <i.r.but...@gmail.com <javascript:>> wrote: > > I'm not sure of the etiquette, but I'm cross-posting this from > stackoverflow > > as it seems like quite a significant issue... > > > > As an example: > > > > x = rand(10,10,100,4,4,1000) #Dummy array > > > > tic() > > r = squeeze(mean(x[:,:,1:80,:,:,56:800],(1,2,3,4,5)),(1,2,3,4,5)) > > toc() > > > > Julia 0.5.0 -> elapsed time: 176.357068283 seconds > > > > Julia 0.4.7 -> elapsed time: 1.19991952 seconds > > > > > > > > I know this isn't really good practice, and I'm looking into using > `view` > > but it's quite a bit performance decrease, so I thought I'd raise it. > > > > AFAICT it's all compilation time. > > > > > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40351485/why-is-indexing-a-large-matrix-170x-slower-slower-in-julia-0-5-0-than-0-4-7 > >
