I have a 32 bit number (uint32) that contains four numbers in the following manner:
- Var1 is in bits 32:31
- Var2 is in bits 30:22
- Var3 is in bits 21:13
- Var4 is in bits 12:1
The following code works but I'd like to make it faster
Var1=bitshift(fourbytes,-30);
Var2_temp=bitshift(fourbytes,-21);
Var2=bitand(Var2_temp,511);
Var3_temp=bitshift(fourbytes,-12);
Var3=bitand(Var2_temp,511);
Var4=bitand(fourbytes,2^12-1));
Example:
fourbytes = 2149007896;
Results in
Var1=2;
Var2=0;
Var3=372
Var4=536
I've tried something like
Var1=bin2dec(num2str(bitget(fourbytes,32:-1:31)));
but that is incredibly slow as is bi2de
bi2de(bitget(onebyte(1),32:-1:31),'left-msb');
Is my only alternative to write this part in C, or is there a better way I'm missing ?
CodePudding user response:
This can be done with
- division followed by
floor
to get rid of the unwanted rightmost bits, and then mod
to get rid of the unwanted leftmost bits.
I haven't timed it, but it's probably faster than your current approach.
fourbytes = 2149007896;
var1 = floor(fourbytes/2^30);
var2 = mod(floor(fourbytes/2^21), 2^9);
var3 = mod(floor(fourbytes/2^12), 2^9);
var4 = mod(fourbytes, 2^12);
