如何用SciPy提高三维数据插值的性能

Question

我有代表大气的三维数据。现在我想把这个数据插值到一个公共的Z坐标（我的意思应该从函数的doctring中明确）。下面的代码可以正常工作，但是我想知道是否有一种方法可以提高性能。。。在

def interpLevel(grid,value,data,interp='linear'):
    """
    Interpolate 3d data to a common z coordinate.

    Can be used to calculate the wind/pv/whatsoever values for a common
    potential temperature / pressure level.

    grid : numpy.ndarray
       The grid. For example the potential temperature values for the whole 3d
       grid.

    value : float
       The common value in the grid, to which the data shall be interpolated.
       For example, 350.0

    data : numpy.ndarray
       The data which shall be interpolated. For example, the PV values for
       the whole 3d grid.

    kind : str
       This indicates which kind of interpolation will be done. It is directly
       passed on to scipy.interpolate.interp1d().

    returs : numpy.ndarray
       A 2d array containing the *data* values at *value*.

    """
    ret = np.zeros_like(data[0,:,:])
    # we need to copy the grid to a new one, because otherwise the flipping
    # done below will be messed up
    gr = np.zeros_like(grid)
    da = np.zeros_like(data)
    for latIdx in xrange(grid.shape[1]):
        for lonIdx in xrange(grid.shape[2]):
            # check if we need to flip the column
            if grid[0,latIdx,lonIdx] > grid[-1,latIdx,lonIdx]:
                gr[:,latIdx,lonIdx] = grid[::-1,latIdx,lonIdx]
                da[:,latIdx,lonIdx] = data[::-1,latIdx,lonIdx]
            else:
                gr[:,latIdx,lonIdx] = grid[:,latIdx,lonIdx]
                da[:,latIdx,lonIdx] = data[:,latIdx,lonIdx]
            f = interpolate.interp1d(gr[:,latIdx,lonIdx], \
                    da[:,latIdx,lonIdx], \
                    kind=interp)
            ret[latIdx,lonIdx] = f(value)
    return ret

Answer 1

好吧，这可能只是因为它使用较少的内存，所以会有一个小的加速。在

ret = np.zeros_like(data[0,:,:])
for latIdx in xrange(grid.shape[1]):
    for lonIdx in xrange(grid.shape[2]):
        # check if we need to flip the column
        if grid[0,latIdx,lonIdx] > grid[-1,latIdx,lonIdx]:
            ind = -1
        else:
            ind = 1
        f = interpolate.interp1d(grid[::ind,latIdx,lonIdx], \
                data[::ind,latIdx,lonIdx], \
                kind=interp)
        ret[latIdx,lonIdx] = f(value)
return ret

我所做的就是把gr和da真的除掉。在

除此之外，您是否用大量不同的值调用此函数（即值不同，但其他参数相同）？如果是这样，您可能希望使函数能够处理多个值（为ret添加另一个维度，换句话说，它与值的长度一样长）。然后你可以更好地利用你创建的插值函数。在

最后一个建议是尝试a profiler。它可以让你看到什么是最耗时的。在
