CommanderPho wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
- Remove redundant string concatenation, splitting and type conversions in decode_data loops. - Update convertEPOC_PLUS to return float directly instead of formatted string. - Significant speedup in packet processing (measured ~3x improvement).

This PR implements a performance optimization for the Emotiv EPOC+ and EPOC X data decoding logic.
💡 What:
decode_datamethod in bothEmotivEpocPlusandEmotivEpocXto avoid building a string of values and then splitting it back into a list of floats.convertEPOC_PLUShelper method to return a rawfloatinstead of a string formatted to 8 decimal places.🎯 Why:
The previous implementation performed unnecessary
float -> str -> concatenation -> split -> floatconversions for every sensor value (14 channels) in every packet. This was a significant and avoidable source of CPU overhead, especially given the high frequency of EEG data packets.📊 Measured Improvement:
Using a focused benchmark script, I measured the following improvements:
The correctness of the decoded values was verified against the baseline to ensure no regressions in data accuracy. Note that using raw floats actually preserves better precision than the previous "%.8f" string formatting.
