Power Array Extension - High Performance Array Handling For Small Basic

Question

This extension was made to provide better array speed if your program performance is suffering from Small Basic's native handling...

Power Array V1 on SkyDrive

PowerArrayV1.zip contains four files:

• The extension's .dll
• The extension's .xml
• A reference manual .pdf
• A sample program .sb

The files are also accessible individually in the sub-folders on the SkyDrive, along with some performance data.

The reference manual is fairly comprehensive and should explain everything you need to know.

I may develop it further, or provide some support, if there's any interest.

For a 3D array with the dimensions [21][21][21] it writes 9,000 times faster and reads 6 times faster than Small Basic.

Answer 1

The reference manual has been reformatted and updated with sections on general program usage and some further info.

Answer 2

nice n quick array! congrats

compared to LDarray of 100000 elements:

• 43% faster reading!
• 49% faster writting!

test code: fgt632-0

scores: (lower is better)

and a lack of LDarray is only onedimensional((

should be considered to include as a standard feature ur extension EZY!

Answer 3

and for comparison the catastophic SB array results:

reading is even faster than LD array but writting is 78 times slower! 7800% OMG!
