Fastest way to go from linear index to grid index












3














I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm interested in going from a position in a vector to the index in the grid version of the vector with given strides, for example, say I have the vector:



vec = {58, 94, 19, 68, 54, 77, 1, 18, 49, 20, 90, 44, 91, 89, 15, 0, 
60, 18, 19, 44, 87, 5, 8, 42, 51, 55, 87, 71, 83, 68, 53, 58, 27,
17, 8, 14, 33, 58, 86, 3, 91, 66, 3, 16, 98, 84, 72, 98, 9, 30, 90,
99, 15, 0, 82, 76, 86, 58, 77, 58};


And say I have strides {5, 4, 3}, the position 35 in the vector would correspond to the index {3, 4, 2}:



vec[[35]]

4

ArrayReshape[vec, {5, 4, 3}][[3, 4, 2]]

4


How can I get this index fast and in a vectorized fashion because I will have potentially many positions to extract?

          I think this is what you want:



          IntegerDigits[35 - 1, MixedRadix[{5, 4, 3}], 3] + 1


          In general:



          gridIndex[n_Integer, shape_List] := 
          IntegerDigits[n - 1, MixedRadix[shape], Length@shape] + 1

          Here's what I came up with:



          getSubindex[index_, stride_] := {
          Mod[index, stride, 1],
          Ceiling[index/stride]
          }
          getIndex[index_, strides_] :=
          Reverse@FoldPairList[getSubindex, index, Reverse@strides]


          This is comparable to swish's solution speed-wise:



          gridIndex[1000, {3, 5, 4, 6}] // RepeatedTiming



          {0.000061, {3, 2, 3, 4}}




          getIndex[1000, {3, 5, 4, 6}] // RepeatedTiming
