Preallocation
If you can't vectorize a piece of code, you can make your for
loops go faster by preallocating any vectors or arrays in which output results are stored. For example, this code uses the function zeros
to preallocate the vector created in the for
loop. This makes the for
loop execute significantly faster.
Without the preallocation in the previous example, the MATLAB interpreter enlarges the r
vector by one element each time through the loop. Vector preallocation eliminates this step and results in faster execution.
