Quickest method for calculation [message #71062]

Due to the size of the simulations i'm running, my programs are
incredibly memory intensive.

As a result, some of the calculations are taking quite a large amount
of time to compute. Here is an example:

These are the array sizes:-

top_tem = fltarr(200000,2002)
y.rho = fltarr(200000,2002)
temperature = fltarr(200000,2002)

and this is one of the calculations i do, which takes quite a while:

top_tem = TEMPORARY(top_tem) + (y.rho^2.0 * temperature)

i use TEMPORARY so that it doesn't eat up much memory.
But, is there a better way to do this calculation? Would it be better
to break it up somehow?

Any advice would be great.
