I told my friend about how nice J was.  Am I wrong?

He said, how fast can you multiply a 1000x1000 matrix times
a 1x1000 vector to get a 1x1000 resultant vector.

his MatLab code ran in about .6 seconds.

His code follows..

matrix = randn(312,256);
vector = randn(256,1);

tic
for i = 1:1000
    output = matrix*vector;
end
toc

I wrote my code which runs in about 2.5 minutes

here is my code:

#!/home/efittery/bin/jconsole

A =: 256 312 $ 1+ i. 312 * 256x
B =: 312   1 $ 1+ i. 312x

jumbo =: monad define
    for. i. y do.
        yVector =: A +/ .* B
    end.
    )

jumbo 1000
