I need faster addition!

hi,
I'm sitting here watching my CPU go up,up,up all because of this:

Code:

---

float result[512];

for(int i=0;i<sInputs;i++)
{
      for(int ii=0;ii<512;ii++)
        {
                for(list[sInput].GoToRoot();list[sInput]..IsNotNull();list[sInput].Traverse)
                {
                        result[ii] += list.value[ii];
                }
        }

}

---

,which is some kind of pseudo-code trying to reflect what I need
to do. When sInput is big this
is really slow, soooo, anyone got any ideas conserning improvments? :)

thanks a bunch

The only big win is to look at why you need to do this, and perhaps think of a better approach to the problem as a whole.

these inputs are in fact audio-streams which need to be added
together. There is no other way around that if you want
to process say 30 different streams through the same filter.
And I can't imagine it being more effective to apply a filter
on each stream instead, and for some algorithms that
is not even an option!. Ahh well, I'll keep tryin to find
a better way :)

thanks

Would it be possible to calculate the results value as the data is read in and not wait for the whole list object to get populated and then need to use the for loop to calculate it? If you could do that, then you wouldn't need the extra loop? What is the structure of the loop object? Is it a class? How is the data input? Are you using the right type of data structure or container object for the job?

thanks for the help but after some experimenting
it seems the only way to go is to ditch the nested loops.
Seems to be the only way to get the effeiciency needed.
The sad part is that it will introduce some limitations such
as max 100 streams into one algorithm and a
larger dll but I just don't see another way around it.

thanks for the help though:)
