优化Python字典访问代码

优化Python字典访问代码,python,optimization,dictionary,sparse-matrix,Python,Optimization,Dictionary,Sparse Matrix,问题: 我已经把我的Python程序剖析得面目全非了,有一个函数正在减慢一切。它大量使用Python字典,因此我可能没有以最佳方式使用它们。如果我不能让它运行得更快,我将不得不用C++来重写它,所以有人能帮助我在Python中优化它吗? 我希望我已经给出了正确的解释,并且您可以理解我的代码!提前感谢您的帮助 我的代码: 这是一个有问题的函数,使用。我正在运行Python 2.7 我对第363行、第389行和第405行尤其感到困惑,在这些行中,带有两个变量比较的if语句似乎花费了过多的时间 我曾考

问题:

我的代码:

这是一个有问题的函数,使用。我正在运行Python 2.7

我对第363行、第389行和第405行尤其感到困惑,在这些行中,带有两个变量比较的
if
语句似乎花费了过多的时间

我曾考虑过使用(就像使用稀疏矩阵一样),但我认为这不合适,因为:(1)我没有使用整数为我的矩阵编制索引(我使用的是对象实例);(2)我没有在矩阵中存储简单的数据类型(我存储的是浮点和对象实例的元组)。 但我很愿意被说服。 如果有人知道NumPy的稀疏矩阵性能和Python的哈希表,我会感兴趣的

很抱歉,我没有给出一个简单的例子,你可以运行,但这个功能是捆绑在一个更大的项目,我无法解决如何设置一个简单的例子来测试它,没有给你我的一半代码基础

由于拓扑更改,两个相距很远(或根本没有连接)的节点可能会变得很近。发生这种情况时,条目将添加到此矩阵中。由于阈值设置,两个节点可能会相距太远而无法关心。发生这种情况时,将从此矩阵中删除条目

self.neights
矩阵类似于
self.node\u distance
,但包含有关网络中直接链路(边)的信息<代码>自身。通过化学反应,邻居不断地从外部对此功能进行修改。这就是网络拓扑更改的来源

我遇到问题的实际函数:
propagate\u distance\u node()。给定一个节点,
node\u a
,该函数确保
node\u a
的邻居正确地位于距离矩阵中(拓扑更改)。然后,该函数将
节点a
的路由表发送到网络中所有
节点a
的近邻。它将
节点的路由表与每个邻居自己的路由表集成在一起

在我程序的其余部分中,重复调用
传播距离\u node()
函数,直到距离矩阵收敛。自上次更新以来已更改其路由表的节点的集合“self.nodes\u changed
”将被维护。在我的算法的每次迭代中,都会选择这些节点的随机子集,并对它们调用
propagate\u distance\u node()
。这意味着节点以异步和随机的方式分布其路由表。当集合
self.nodes\u changed
变为空时,该算法收敛于真距离矩阵

“亲缘距离”部分(
add_affinityDistance
del_affinityDistance
)是距离矩阵(小)子矩阵的缓存,由程序的不同部分使用

我这么做的原因是我在模拟参与反应的化学物质的计算类似物,作为我博士学位的一部分。“化学”是一个“原子”图(图中的节点)。将两种化学物质结合在一起,模拟它们的两个图形被新边连接。一个化学反应发生(通过一个复杂的过程,在这里不相关),改变了图形的拓扑结构。但反应中发生的情况取决于组成化学物质的不同原子之间的距离。因此,对于模拟中的每个原子,我想知道它与哪些其他原子接近。稀疏的阈值距离矩阵是存储这些信息的最有效方法。由于网络的拓扑结构随着反应的发生而变化,因此我需要更新矩阵。A是我能想出的最快的方法。我不需要更复杂的路由协议,因为像路由循环这样的事情不会发生在我的特定应用程序中(因为我的化学品是如何构造的)。我这样做的原因是随机的,这样我就可以将化学反应过程与距离的扩展交织在一起,并在反应发生时模拟一种随着时间逐渐改变形状的化学反应(而不是瞬间改变形状)

此函数中的
self
是表示化学品的对象。
self.node\u distance.keys()
中的节点是构成化学物质的原子。
self.node\u distance[node\u x].keys()中的节点是来自化学品的节点,可能是来自与化学品结合(并与之反应)的任何化学品的节点

更新:

我尝试用
node_x是node_y
替换
node_x==node_y
的每个实例(根据@Sven Marnach的评论),但它减慢了速度!(我没想到!) 我最初的配置文件运行了807.234秒,但经过这次修改后,它增加到了895.895秒。对不起,我做得不对!我使用了一行接一行,这(在我的代码中)有太多的差异(90秒的差异都在噪音中)。正确地分析它时,
=
快得多。使用时,我使用
=
的代码花费了34.394s,但使用
is
的代码花费了33.535s(我可以确认它没有噪音)

更新: 现有图书馆

我不确定是否会有一个现有的库可以满足我的要求,因为我的要求不同寻常: 我需要计算短距离
