How to reduce the computation time for adding 3D-array?

Hi, I am trying to add multiple 3D-arrays to a bigger 3D-array at a specific index (x,y,z)
Below is the code, and it does work and compute the answer but it seems very ineffecient.
In this example, i only have 4 sets of coordiantes (x,y,z) but in real code, i have more than 1e6 sets of points.
It takes very long to compute the result with that many points.
Is there any way to reduce the computation time?
Thank you in advance
Regards

Big=zeros(500,500,500); %%%% Bigger Array
Small=rand(250,250,250);
x=[245; 220; 256; 270];
y=[245; 220; 256; 270];
z=[245; 220; 256; 270];
for n = 1 : length(x)
x_cord=x(n)-length(Small)/2;
y_cord=y(n)-length(Small)/2;
z_cord=z(n)-length(Small)/2;
x_end= x_cord + length(Small) -1 ;
y_end= y_cord + length(Small) -1;
z_end=z_cord + length(Small) -1;
if x_end <= length(Big)
Big(x_cord:x_end, y_cord:y_end,z_cord:z_end)=Big(x_cord:x_end, y_cord:y_end,z_cord:z_end)+Small();
end
end

could also be done with accumarray, but I am not sure that would be faster considering the time to generate the coordinate matrices... though I did just think of a shortcut for that.

You can reformulate the loop as convolution of
A = accumarray([x(:) y(:) z(:)]-length(Small)/2,1,[500 500 500])
and
B = flip(flip(flip(Small,1),2),3)
(I left out the detail of overflowed for simplicity)
You might look at convn function. The problem I see is that A is sparse (1/125 in density) and might not be efficient as for loop.
You also might try this FEX to see if you can exploit the sparsity
Or this one using different method of compute convolution

You might try the alternative convolution implementations in the links I post above.
As I said above, the alternative ways I have proposed might not be fater than your for-loop.

Hi,
You can use the parfor loop to use parallel processing and get higher computation speeds. However you will have to modify your for loop to be used for parfor loop.
Hope this helps !!
