Description Markus Mohrhard 2015-02-14 22:56:32 UTC
The code for ScInterpreter::ScNot, ScInterpreter::ScNeg and some more methods are not optimal for the matrix case. The current data structures that are used for matrix storage is inefficient when you access every element on its own. Instead you should iterate through the whole storage at once.

The code to do that exists already as part of 3d6cedd70b3c79b3ebb65c2662df420a8acb0818. This would require to reuse the templates that have been written for ScInterpreter::CalculateAddSub and create a functor for ScNot and ScNeg.
Comment 1 Markus Mohrhard 2015-02-14 22:57:22 UTC
Making it an easy hack.
Comment 2 Markus Mohrhard 2015-02-14 23:17:08 UTC
Some more functions that would benefit from that:

ScInterpreter::CalculatePearsonCovar
ScInterpreter::CalculateSlopeIntercept
ScInterpreter::ScForecast
ScInterpreter::ScTTest (at least for the fType == 1.0 case, others need to be checked)
ScInterpreter::ScFTest
ScInterpreter::ScChiTest
ScInterpreter::ScGCD
ScInterpreter:: ScLCM
lcl_MatrixCalculation in interpr5.cxx
ScInterpreter::ScAmpersand
ScInterpreter::ScMul
ScInterpreter::ScDiv
ScInterpreter::ScPow
ScInterpreter::CalculateSumX2MY2SumX2DY2
ScInterpreter::ScSumXMY2
ScInterpreter::CheckMatrix

Please note that many of them may require some more work and may not be as easy as the ones above.
Comment 3 Łukasz Hryniuk 2015-02-27 20:09:54 UTC
I would like to work on this. I'm looking at the code now... and I wonder: is there any test to check performance of these operations? If no, should I write a few before I start (or, maybe, after) or just base on Markus code and everything should be alright?

There are no performance tests for this. However you don't need to worry about that. The changes will not cause any performance problems, they will actually improve performance for big array formulas and avoid a lot of stupid calls into mdds.

Comment 10 Eike Rathke 2015-03-31 17:37:39 UTC
Created attachment 114504 [details]
simple testcase to make NegOp crash

Something is seriously wrong with the new MatOp handling, the attached document, calculating a mixed array of one number and one string using NegOp, makes the application immediately crash with a Fatal Error "Data array is too long". Please fix ASAP.
Comment 11 Eike Rathke 2015-03-31 17:38:44 UTC
Furthermore, I noticed that due to the wrapped_iterator value_type& operator() using calcVal() the MatOp operation is executed too many times, i.e. when values are accessed and/or copied in mdds. Not sure if that can be avoided at all with the current design.

Yes. For now more than half of functions listed at the beginning are improved and I've written unit and performance tests for few of the rest. I have to implement one thing in mdds - way to work on two matrices at once - and use it in remaining functions. I'll try to do it as soon as possible.

Hello Filippo and Tamsil,

the main goal of this task is to speed up matrix (ScMatrix) operations using mdds (https://gitlab.com/mdds/mdds) library. You can start with checking how MatrixOpWrapper and MatOp are implemented in (commit 1c2405ba44c5a146188c19e235f857ab18ea05f0)
sc/source/core/tool/scmatrix.cxx

It needs a small refactoring - look for FIXME in this file (e.g. near void ScFullMatrix::NotOp( ScMatrix& rMat)) ;).  It could be good place to start.

I've changed a few functions from the list - you can search for my commits in gerrit to see the details - and as far as I recall these operations still need to be changed:

ScInterpreter::CalculatePearsonCovar
ScInterpreter::CalculateSlopeIntercept
ScInterpreter::ScGCD
ScInterpreter::ScLCM
lcl_MatrixCalculation in interpr5.cxx
ScInterpreter::CheckMatrix

I've used the callgrind for profiling, but I suppose there can be a better tool for that. You can find written tests' results here: http://perf.libreoffice.org/perf_html/suite_cppu_sc.html (e.g. lcm, gcd, ttest, chitest), they can help you too.

Looking forward to your commits :)!
Comment 38 filippo 2016-12-12 15:30:19 UTC
I ' m looking the function ScFullMatrix::MatCopy in /core/sc/source/core/tool/scmatrix.cxx and I wonder how can I try it?.

Best to take one of the functions that Łukasz mentioned. Also it is a good idea to look at the other commits referenced in this bug report to see what needs to be done.

yes. For now I have only changed ScInterpreter::ScGCD ,implementing a method that calculate Gcd in scMatrix,i only have to handle strings error ,but i dont know how..(https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/32972/5/sc/source/core/tool/scmatrix.cxx).
If this solution is ok I will change ScInterpreter::ScLCM too..
sorry for keeping it so long,any suggestions can help me to goes on with the function above are welcome

You mean if anyone else is working on them? I'm not seeing any open patch at least: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/q/message:89387+status:open

Yeah, both if anybody is working on it and which, if any of the functions still need to be worked on, with a similar template as given in the description.

Kinda doing your homework for you, but based on comment 37 and the commit in comment 42, these are still left:
ScInterpreter::CalculatePearsonCovar
ScInterpreter::CalculateSlopeIntercept
lcl_MatrixCalculation in interpr5.cxx
ScInterpreter::CheckMatrix

Right, thanks! Had a vague idea based on the comments as I mentioned in comment 44 too, however I couldn't find the CalculatePearsonCovar() and CalculateSlopeIntercept() functions, (atleast in the same file as the others) hence asked. On studying all commits that tag this issue, I have found the last patch made for GCD and LCM functions, and then a few on another issue to resolve a bug in strings caused by this patch. I'll be trying to work on the ScInterpreter::CheckMatrix, as I see it still uses a for loop to iterate, and try to keep patch 34110 as a reference. However, on the off-chance that there is something different about this function I should know to avoid the same bugs, do let me know.

You can find the functions via git grep.

Hey, just wondering if you were able to implement the way to work on two matrices at once using walk() method or iterator, as most of the functions reliant on that still use loops on rely on loops or use lcl_MatrixCalculation, which in turn also uses nested loops.
