A C-mex Function to find N largest number in a Matrix

A c-mex function to find N largest number in a matrix.

Description

This is a C-Mex Fucntion to find n largest number in a matrix.

>> x=randperm(20);
>> nmax(x,5)

ans =

    20 19 18 17 16

>> nthmax(x,5)

ans =

    16

Same as
b = sort(a) ; b(end-N)
or
b = unique(a) ; b(end-N)
depending on the exact definition of Nth largest number. Both sort and unique are faster than your routines ...

i don't know if run my program.
just compare these results:

>> tic;nmax(x,1);toc

elapsed_time =

    0.2030

>> tic;max(x);toc

elapsed_time =

    1.3910

>> x=rand(1000,10000);
>> tic;nmax(x,10);toc

elapsed_time =

   10.1880

>> tic;y = sort(x) ; y(end-10);toc

elapsed_time =

   29.4380

[Changshun Deng]

>> x=rand(1000,10000);

>> tic;y = sort(x) ; y(end-10);toc

elapsed_time =

   17.8590

>> tic;nmax(x,10);toc

elapsed_time =

    3.7350
