locate particles on a grid [message #80160]

I wrote a code in IDL to locate 10,000 particles over a grid of
size : 512 x 512 using Kernel statistics, in particular Gaussian. This
program has 3 FOR loops with an exponential calculation. It is really
taking a long time to get me an output. Two days have already been
over and this code is still running. I am not sure if IDL is good for
this array size and 512x512 iterations.

My question is whether it is IDL problem or my code problem. I
discussed it with other students and they suggested me to do this work
in FORTRAN. But I am still not very sure about this, as many
astronomers use IDL for their research.
