[另见此问题]

我修改了Marc的答案，使用实际的随机数，在所有情况下都做同样的工作。

结果:

         for      foreach
Array : 1575ms     1575ms (+0%)
List  : 1630ms     2627ms (+61%)
         (+3%)     (+67%)

(Checksum: -1000038876)

在VS 2008 SP1下编译为发行版。在Q6600@2.40GHz、. net 3.5 SP1上运行而不进行调试。

代码:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<int> list = new List<int>(6000000);
        Random rand = new Random(1);
        for (int i = 0; i < 6000000; i++)
        {
            list.Add(rand.Next());
        }
        int[] arr = list.ToArray();

        int chk = 0;
        Stopwatch watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            int len = list.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                chk += list[i];
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("List/for: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        chk = 0;
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            int len = arr.Length;
            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                chk += arr[i];
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("Array/for: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        chk = 0;
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            foreach (int i in list)
            {
                chk += i;
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("List/foreach: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        chk = 0;
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            foreach (int i in arr)
            {
                chk += i;
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("Array/foreach: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);
        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

在一些简短的测试中，我发现两者的结合在我所谓的合理密集数学中会更好:

类型:<双[]>列表

时间:00:00:05.1861300

类型：列表<列表<double>>

时间:00:00:05.7941351

类型:double[行*列]

时间:00:00:06.0547118

运行代码:

int rows = 10000;
int columns = 10000;

IMatrix Matrix = new IMatrix(rows, columns);

Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.Start();


for (int r = 0; r < Matrix.Rows; r++)
    for (int c = 0; c < Matrix.Columns; c++)
        Matrix[r, c] = Math.E;

for (int r = 0; r < Matrix.Rows; r++)
    for (int c = 0; c < Matrix.Columns; c++)
        Matrix[r, c] *= -Math.Log(Math.E);


stopwatch.Stop();
TimeSpan ts = stopwatch.Elapsed;

Console.WriteLine(ts.ToString());

我真希望我们有一些顶尖的硬件加速矩阵类，就像。net团队用system . numbers . vectors类做的那样!

c#可能是最好的ML语言，只要在这方面多做一些工作!

很容易测量…

在少量的紧循环处理代码中，我知道长度是固定的，我使用数组来进行额外的微小优化;如果你使用索引器/ for表单，数组可以稍微快一点——但是IIRC认为这取决于数组中数据的类型。但除非你需要进行微观优化，否则尽量保持简单，使用List<T>等。

当然，这只适用于读取所有数据的情况;对于基于键的查找，字典会更快。

下面是我使用“int”的结果(第二个数字是一个校验和，以验证它们都做了相同的工作):

(修改bug)

List/for: 1971ms (589725196)
Array/for: 1864ms (589725196)
List/foreach: 3054ms (589725196)
Array/foreach: 1860ms (589725196)

基于试验台:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        List<int> list = new List<int>(6000000);
        Random rand = new Random(12345);
        for (int i = 0; i < 6000000; i++)
        {
            list.Add(rand.Next(5000));
        }
        int[] arr = list.ToArray();

        int chk = 0;
        Stopwatch watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            int len = list.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
            {
                chk += list[i];
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("List/for: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        chk = 0;
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
            {
                chk += arr[i];
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("Array/for: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        chk = 0;
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            foreach (int i in list)
            {
                chk += i;
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("List/foreach: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        chk = 0;
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 100; rpt++)
        {
            foreach (int i in arr)
            {
                chk += i;
            }
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("Array/foreach: {0}ms ({1})", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds, chk);

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

测量结果很好，但是根据您在内部循环中所做的具体操作，您将得到显著不同的结果。衡量你自己的情况。如果您正在使用多线程，那么这本身就不是一个简单的活动。

不要试图通过增加元素数量来增加容量。

性能

List For Add: 1ms
Array For Add: 2397ms

    Stopwatch watch;
        #region --> List For Add <--

        List<int> intList = new List<int>();
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 60000; rpt++)
        {
            intList.Add(rand.Next());
        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("List For Add: {0}ms", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
        #endregion

        #region --> Array For Add <--

        int[] intArray = new int[0];
        watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        int sira = 0;
        for (int rpt = 0; rpt < 60000; rpt++)
        {
            sira += 1;
            Array.Resize(ref intArray, intArray.Length + 1);
            intArray[rpt] = rand.Next();

        }
        watch.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("Array For Add: {0}ms", watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);

        #endregion

实际上，如果在循环中执行一些复杂的计算，那么数组索引器与列表索引器的性能可能会非常小，最终，这无关紧要。
