FasterDatevec is an attempt to provide an optimized version of Matlab's datevec() function which will run faster for common use cases (that is, dates in the range of about 1950-2050).
The optimized datevec function is called fastdatevec(). It has the exact same interface as datevec(), and can be used as a drop-in replacement for it.
Download the FasterDatevec distribution, either by cloning the repo or downloading a release distribution from its Releases page.
Then get its Mcode/ directory on your Matlab path. No other setup is necessary. At that point, you can call fastdatevec().
To see examples of how it's used, or to test its performance on your system, use the jl.time.BenchFastDatevec tool.
% Convert datenums to datevecs
dnum = now;
dvec = fastdatevec(dnum)
dnums = now + 0:.3:2;
dvec = fastdatevec(dnums)
% Benchmark fastdatevec
b = jl.time.BenchFastDatevec;
rslt = b.benchFasterDatevec is written by Andrew Janke.
