Avoiding unpacking an array when altering its dimension












2












$begingroup$


I am trying to flatten a matrix from 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional one.



The original one has dimension for example {10,120,120}:



list1 = RandomReal[1, {10, 120, 120}];


I want to convert it to a new matrix with {10,120*120} dimension. I am using:



On["Packing"]  (*For checking if exist unpacked arrays *)  

Flatten[Map[Flatten, {list1}, {-3}], 1];


But this will generate unpacked array. How should I avoid this issue?

An alternative to using Flatten as in the comments is to use ArrayReshape. For large arrays, ArrayReshape should be significantly faster. For example:



list1 = RandomReal[1, {10, 1200, 1200}];


Comparison:



r1 = Flatten[list1, {{1}, {2, 3}}]; //RepeatedTiming

r2 = ArrayReshape[list1, {10, 1200 1200}]; //RepeatedTiming



r1 === r2



{0.120, Null}



{0.025, Null}



True

CARDNET は日本カードネットワークが運営するクレジット決済ネットワーク。日本カードネットワークの略称としてもCARDNETが使用されている。 事件・事故 2017年4月15日午前11時8分からクレジットカードの決済がしづらくなる障害が発生した。障害は同日午後5時18分に復旧した。原因は、複数あるCARDNETセンターの拠点のうち1つで、2重化してあるL3スイッチの片方が故障し、1系統にトラフィックが集中したことによる輻輳が発生したため。対処としては、故障したL3スイッチ交換とシステム再起動が行われた [1] 。 出典 ^ 金子寛人 ( 2017年4月17日 ). “CARDNETのクレジット決済に6時間強障害、原因はL3スイッチ故障”. 日経コンピュータ. 2018年10月18日 閲覧。 この項目は、コンピュータに関連した 書きかけの項目 です。この項目を加筆・訂正などしてくださる協力者を求めています（PJ:コンピュータ/P:コンピュータ）。 この項目は、経済に関連した 書きかけの項目 です。この項目を加筆・訂正などしてくださる協力者を求めています（ポータル 経済学、プロジェクト 経済）。 This page is only for reference, If you need detailed information, please check here

Boot-repair Failure: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386

Image
0 I am on a system dual-booting Windows and Debian (usually using the latter), and a recent Windows update appears to have wreaked havoc on the Debian boot system. I managed to boot Windows again, but not Linux. Following online suggestions, I created a Live USB of Ubuntu, and booted from that. Then I have installed and run the boot-repair utility. The utility instructs me to type several lines including sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6" apt-get purge -y grub*-common grub-common:i386 To which I receive the error E: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386 I am given to understand the issue may have to do with having UEFI vs BIOS (I believe I have UEFI), but do not understand this well. In any case I have subsequently run the boot-repair BootInfo Summary utility which created the following file h...
