From c408352daa2a69a59a9f177498fbcd69aea8ce02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ricardo=20Monta=C3=B1ana=20G=C3=B3mez?= Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2025 18:20:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Eliminate redundant memory and enhance memory usage 1. Eliminated Redundant Memory Usage MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Before: Maintained both X (float) and Xs (string) vectors simultaneously → 2x memory usage - After: Use temporary categoricalData only during processing, deallocated automatically → ~50% memory reduction 2. Implemented Memory Pre-allocation - Before: Vectors grew dynamically causing memory fragmentation - After: X.assign(numFeatures, std::vector(numSamples)) pre-allocates all memory upfront - Benefit: Eliminates reallocation overhead and memory fragmentation 3. Added Robust Exception Handling - Before: stof(token) could crash on malformed data - After: Wrapped in try-catch with descriptive error messages - Improvement: Prevents crashes and provides debugging information 4. Optimized String Processing - Before: type += type_w + " " caused O(n²) string concatenation - After: Used std::ostringstream for efficient string building - Benefit: Better performance on files with complex attribute types --- ArffFiles.hpp | 79 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ tests/TestArffFiles.cc | 26 +++++++------- 2 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/ArffFiles.hpp b/ArffFiles.hpp index e346efe..fcfcc94 100644 --- a/ArffFiles.hpp +++ b/ArffFiles.hpp @@ -66,7 +66,9 @@ public: return s;
