Thanks Dennis and Scott for both responses. Since Dennis has slam dunked
my notion of sharing memory addresses (my ignorance in computing is
pretty much unbounded), I guess I will need to continue on with sharing
through files.
Opening up and loading the binary info into a string variable is very
fast. The process bogs when changing the representation to float. So it
appears that Scott's Block module might do what I need.
My original:
nc = #something given
nr = #something given
f_o=open('junk.bin','rb')
x=reshape(array('d',f_o.read()),(nr,nc))
gives me any array with nr rows and nc columns. Using Block I think I
would use:
f_o=open('junk.bin','rb')
x = View('d', Block(f_o.read()))
Okay, so now how can I use this? Is this like an array type so that
x = reshape(x,(nr,nc))
makes sense?
Regards,
Eric
