As I mentioned in my previous posts I am new to Julia and am planning to dive into it. For the following question I have been looking into the Julia 1.7 Documentation , but have not found an answer or explanation - if I have overlooked something then please point me towards it. I would like to stor…

Thanks for the shoutout for UInt12Arrays. My initial suggestion is just to use the UInt8 array. Computers like working with bytes and are optimized for that scenario. If you really want to optimize memory while sacrificing speed, you can try to build on top of BitArray. Arrays · The Julia Language …

Thanks for both hints. @mkitti provided that Julia coding example for my topic, thank you very much for that idea :+1: ! Mark, you have written: [image] mkitti: My initial suggestion is just to use the UInt8 array. Computers like working with bytes and are optimized for that scenario. … Tha…

Yes, we’re mostly just performing elementwise byte operations of bit shifting, >> or << and or &. This can be done in parallel. CPU vector instructions via SIMD are quite fast at this, but GPUs are also fast. The question is if the GPU is fast enough to overcome the time needed to transfer memory to…

Mark, thanks for your patience, I appreciate it!

Maybe you can take inspiration from https://github.com/JaneliaSciComp/UInt12Arrays.jl (see also the discussion here).
