Speed up Matrix Addition in C#

Question

I\'d like to optimize this piece of code :

public void PopulatePixelValueMatrices(GenericImage image,int Width, int Height)
{            
        for (int x = 0;         


        

Answer 1

Code profiling is the best place to start.

Matrix addition is a highly parallel operation and can be speed up by parallelizing the operation w/ multiple threads.

I would recommend using Intels IPP library that contains threaded highly optimized API for this sort of operation. Perhaps surprisingly it's only about $100 - but would add significant complexity to your project.

If you don't want to trouble yourself with mixed language programming and IPP, you could try out centerspace's C# math libraries. The NMath API contains easy to used, forward scaling, matrix operations.
