[python] Comparing two NumPy arrays for equality, element-wise

Let's measure the performance by using the following piece of code.

import numpy as np
import time

exec_time0 = []
exec_time1 = []
exec_time2 = []

sizeOfArray = 5000
numOfIterations = 200

for i in xrange(numOfIterations):

    A = np.random.randint(0,255,(sizeOfArray,sizeOfArray))
    B = np.random.randint(0,255,(sizeOfArray,sizeOfArray))

    a = time.clock() 
    res = (A==B).all()
    b = time.clock()
    exec_time0.append( b - a )

    a = time.clock() 
    res = np.array_equal(A,B)
    b = time.clock()
    exec_time1.append( b - a )

    a = time.clock() 
    res = np.array_equiv(A,B)
    b = time.clock()
    exec_time2.append( b - a )

print 'Method: (A==B).all(),       ', np.mean(exec_time0)
print 'Method: np.array_equal(A,B),', np.mean(exec_time1)
print 'Method: np.array_equiv(A,B),', np.mean(exec_time2)

Output

Method: (A==B).all(),        0.03031857
Method: np.array_equal(A,B), 0.030025185
Method: np.array_equiv(A,B), 0.030141515

According to the results above, the numpy methods seem to be faster than the combination of the == operator and the all() method and by comparing the numpy methods the fastest one seems to be the numpy.array_equal method.
