I am an old school guy and have learned scientific computing with Fortran... Using mutiplication instead of power elevation is an old trick which should not be necessary with a more clever interpreter (which should detect that 2 is actually a (small) integer and use multiplication instead)

Hello Stéphane,

Sorry to hijack the discussion but I didn't know that there was such a 
difference between A.*A and A.^2.
Could you tell us more about it?
Why is is twice faster to use the A.*A form?
Is this documented somewhere?

Cheers,

Antoine

Replacing

      MinDist=[MinDist sqrt(min(sum(DIFF.^2,2)))];

by

      MinDist=[MinDist sqrt(min(sum(DIFF.*DIFF,2)))];

will be at least twice faster. Crunching elapsed time could be done by
using parallel_run (with 5.5.2 version) if you have a multi-core processor.

Hello,

The following suggestions will probably not have a drastic influence
(I don't see how it could be more vectorised)
but his a little thing I see:

     MinDist=[MinDist sqrt(min(sum(DIFF.^2,2)))];
Maybe you could concatenate the squares of the distance
and then compute the square root of the whole vector in the end:

sqMinDist=[sqMinDist min(sum(DIFF.^2,2))];

…

end

…

MinDist = sqrt(sqMinDist)

Hope this helps,

Regards
