I have a problem with the following compiled function:
cpl = Compile[{x,y}, Table[Ceiling[Norm[{i, j} - Ceiling[{
x, y}/2]]], {i, 1, x}, {j, 1, y}]]
When trying to use this function (for example, as idx = cpl[100,100]),
I get the following error:
CompiledFunction::"cfte" :
Compiled expression 49 Sqrt[2] should be a rank 1 tensor of
machine-size integers.
CompiledFunction::cfex: External evaluation error at instruction 23;
proceeding with uncompiled evaluation.
I get the same error even if I try to specify that all variables are
Reals:
cpl = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, Table[Ceiling[Norm[{i, j} -
Ceiling[{
x, y}/2]]], {i, 1, x}, {j, 1, y}], {{i, _Real}, {j, _Real}}]
Is this a bug in Mathematica? If not, what is the right way to compile
this function? Does this error occur with earlier versions than 5.2?
I'd like to use this function to generate indices for a matrix whose
values I want to average radially (ie. I'd like to compute the mean
values in the ring around the center of the matrix). Unofrtunately this
function takes more than 16 seconds on an 500x500 matrix on my machine
which seems unrealistically long for such a simple function. I need to
use the function interactively on many datasets, often much larger than
500x500.
