Run results for: Computing the running sum of an array

The main difference between these loops is that the second loop increments i mid-loop so it can avoid a subtraction to get the previous element. This is the kind of operation you would do to get an integral image so the array size is set to the same amount of pixels as a 720p image.

Script Preparation code:

var array1 = new Uint16Array(1280 * 720);
for (let i = array1.length; i > 0; i--) {
	array1[i] = Math.round(Math.random() * 3);
}
var array2 = Uint16Array.from(array1);
var array3 = Uint16Array.from(array1);

Tests:

Normal way
const length = array1.length; for (let i = 1; i < length; i++) { array1[i] += array1[i - 1]; }
Mid-iteration increment (post)
const length = array2.length - 1; for (let i = 0; i < length;) { const last = array2[i++]; array2[i] += last; }
Mid-iteration increment (pre)
const length = array3.length - 1; for (let i = 0; i < length;) { const last = array3[i]; array3[++i] += last; }
