We can sample a random matrix of the Gaussian Ensemble with a relatively large size and plot its spectral density.

goe = GaussianEnsemble(beta=1, n=5000)

t1 = time.time()
goe.plot_eigval_hist(bins=60, density=False, normalize=False)
t2 = time.time()

The time needed to compute the previous histogram is:

print(t2-t1, 'seconds')

5.188860654830933 seconds

We can speed up this procedure using the tridiagonal form of Gaussian Ensemble random matrices: tridiagonal_form=True.

goe_tridiag = GaussianEnsemble(beta=1, n=5000, tridiagonal_form=True)

t1 = time.time()
goe_tridiag.plot_eigval_hist(bins=60, density=False, normalize=False)
t2 = time.time()

The time needed to compute the previous histogram is:

print(t2-t1, 'seconds')

0.2870519161224365 seconds

This boosting trick can be used with Wishart Ensemble too

wre = WishartEnsemble(beta=1, p=5000, n=10000)

t1 = time.time()
wre.plot_eigval_hist(bins=60, density=False, normalize=False)
t2 = time.time()

The time needed to compute the previous histogram is:

print(t2-t1, 'seconds')

5.173484563827515 seconds

Using tridiagonal form of the Wishart Ensemble by setting tridiagonal_form=True.

wre_tridiag = WishartEnsemble(beta=1, p=5000, n=10000, tridiagonal_form=True)

t1 = time.time()
wre_tridiag.plot_eigval_hist(bins=60, density=False, normalize=False)
t2 = time.time()

The time needed to compute the previous histogram is:

print(t2-t1, 'seconds')
