Script Preparation code:

var size = 4 * 4096;
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(size);
var view = new DataView(buf);
var byte = new Uint32Array(buf);

var data = [];

for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
	data[i] = 100*Math.random();
}

Tests:

DataView
for (let i = 0; i < size / 4; ++i) { view.setUint32(i, data[i]); }
Uint32
for (let i; i < size / 4; ++i) { byte[i] = data[i]; }
