faster "log10" command

Hi all, Is anyone know how to use the "log10" more wisely? currently, I convert from dB to decimal using log10 but it seems to slow down the execution process. Any help would be appreciated!

[EDITED, 09-12-2011 08:13 UTC, Jan Simon] Code copied from Answer section:
Sorry guys for the late reply, and thanks for the comment. Anyway, my code look like this:
for trial = 1:1000
for a = 1:N
for b=1:N
interfere(b,a) = dBtodec(Pr) * power(dstsr(b,a), -(dBtodec(gamma))))) * ...
Li(b) * Ri(b);
end
%
sinrSUr(a) = dBtodec(Pr) * power(ds(a), -(dBtodec(gamma))))) * ...
LSUr(a) * RSUr(a)) / (dBtodec(No) + sum(interfere(:,a)));
snr(a) = (dBtodec(Pr)*(power(ds(a), (-(dBtodec(gamma))))) * ...
LSUr(a) * RSUr(a)) / (dBtodec(No));
end
end
where dBtodec is a function which is:
function [decimal] = dBtodec(x)
%converting dB to decimal
decimal = 10*log10(x);
end
hope that make sense

Calculating -(dBtodec(gamma)) and the other constants repeatedly wastes time. Better do it once and store the value in a temporary variable. All calculations can be performed without loops. E.g.:
snr = dBtodec(Pr) .* power(ds, -dBtodec(gamma)) .* LSUr .* RSUr ./ dBtodec(No);

If all arrays have the same size ".*" multiplies them elementwise. If some are vectors and each element should be multiplied with all elements of a subvector fo the 2D-array, use BSXFUN, which "inflates" the vector "virtually":
x = rand(3, 3); b = rand(1, 3);
y = bsxfun(@times, x, b); % or: y = x .* b(ones(1,3), :)

I am guessing you are not preallocating ...
Does you code look something like:
x = randn(1e7,1);
for ii = 1:length(x)
y(ii) = log10(x(ii));
end
You could replace it with
y = log10(x);

Then I guess, that we will get a speedup of >55% if we apply our experiences on Rak's code. But even then this will *not* be an advantage: Currently Rak has waited 16 hours for the answer! It will be hard to recover this delay even with the fastest code...

Damn English. Sometimes I'm too confused. While "I guess" is nonsense here, I meant "I bet". And if I had written this, I'd won. What a pitty.

You may want to look at
doc db2mag
doc mag2db
doc pow2db
doc db2pow
they are not going to speed up your code, but they do the transformations in the correct direction and use the correct log base and scale factors ...

On my system:
A = magic(10000); %Don't do this!
tic,log10(A);toc
Elapsed time is 1.388229 seconds.
1.39 seconds to calculate the log10 of 10000^2 elements seems pretty good, so you probably have something else slowing you down. How much memory are you using?
b = whos;
sum(b(:).bytes)
If you're using more memory than you have RAM available that's quite possibly your issue.
