Interesting little benchmark but we have to be careful lest we're benchmarking the wrong thing. In FB at least you're really benchmarking string creation, which is going to have overhead. Thus I'm not even sure you're actually comparing equivalent things across languages. For example all compiled languages should probably be about the same. I'm skeptical that Swift, for example, is an order of magnitude slower than C++ or FB.

I note that everything being done in this program can be done with only integers and no big slow SELECT CASE statements which dramatically changes the benchmark. On my machine, FB 1.05 64-bit Linux it ran in 14.97 seconds, but after I optimized your program to remove all use of string types, it ran in 0.5 seconds.

Code: Select all

dim as integer p = 0
dim as integer x=-1
dim as integer a1,a2,a3
dim as integer ps1,ps2,ps3
dim as integer h1,h2,h3
dim as integer h

h1=asc("L") - 65
h2=asc("W") - 65
h3=asc("K") - 65
h=3724


do
    x+=1
    p+=1

    if x>9999 then
        x=0
        a3+=1
        if a3>25 then
            a3=0
            a2+=1
            if a2>25 then
                a2=0
                a1+=1
            end if
        end if
    end if

    ps1 = a1
    ps2 = a2
    ps3 = a3

loop until h1=ps1 and h2=ps2 and h3=ps3 and h=x

print chr(ps1+65)
print chr(ps2+65)
print chr(ps3+65)
print x
print "Location: ";p
end
Python runs at a respectable 40 seconds on my machine now, which is pretty good considering this benchmark is brute-force searching and thus incurs the full cost of the interpreter doing all the flow control. What is needed here is a better algorithm. I haven't analyzed the Big-O of this little routine, but at first glance it strikes me as being O(n^3). If it could be reduced to n Log n, then a scripting language might be respectable at it.

You might be interested.
I made a simple algorithm, intentionally brute force with CASE.

Interesting. I did my own integer-intensive benchmarks a while back. See here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=23489

For your test, I get very different results on my machine: Intel Core i7-6820HQ CPU @2.70GHz, 16 GB ram, Windows 7 64-bit. Plus, it is hard for me to understand how Go, Java and C# are faster than C++, on this benchmark at least. Please post your Go, Java, C#, C++, Javascript and Python versions. I'd like to test those on my machine.

(Update: based on what caseih, said, I think I understand better now, why the C++ version might have been so slow. My C versions "cheat", since they use characters, not strings. And since C doesn't have strings, I guess one can't really do this benchmark in C, unless you resort to strcpy() and friends.)

Note: in c, you can't switch on floats, so I did switch ((int)a1), etc., and then a 2nd benchmark using if's, without the cast.
  • C using switch and cast: gcc -Ofast: 0.86 seconds
  • C using nested ifs, no cast: gcc -Ofast: 1.43 seconds
  • QB64 v1.1: qb64 -x: 15.88 seconds
  • FB 1.05 32-bit, compiled with: fbc -w all -gen gas -fpu sse -O 3: 16.65 seconds
  • FB 1.05 32-bit, compiled with: plain fbc, no options: 16.76 seconds
  • FB 1.05 32-bit, compiled with: fbc -w all -gen gcc -fpu sse -Wc -O3: 17.09 seconds
Note that all these print out the same results: L W K 3724 80183725

Very strange that QB64 is a tad bit faster than FreeBasic. First time I've seen that.

For reference, below are my two C versions:

The benchmark might also be sensitive to the implementation of case/switch commands.

I've now added C++, using C++ strings. As expected, it is somewhat slower:
  • C using switch and cast: gcc -Ofast: 0.86 seconds
  • C using ifs, no cast: gcc -Ofast: 1.43 seconds
  • C++ using strings, ifs, no casting: g++ -Ofast: 4.25 seconds
  • QB64 v1.1: qb64 -x: 15.88 seconds
  • FB 1.05 32-bit, compiled with: fbc -w all -gen gas -fpu sse -O 3: 16.65 seconds
  • FB 1.05 32-bit, compiled with: plain fbc, no options: 16.76 seconds

Just for fun (with code by: zxretrosoft):
Loop Until, sped up by using AndAlso (instead of, And)

Code: Select all

loop until (h1=ps1 AndAlso h2=ps2) AndAlso (h3=ps3 AndAlso h=x)
+ used fbc64 ver. 1.05.0: -s console -gen gcc -O 3 -fpu sse

runtime = approx.: 4.11 Seconds !!! <-- if you want to do:
speed comparisons, please do so, with "optimal" settings ...
(in all tested languages, otherwise, we have a Apple vs. Banana problem)

You made me chuckle there: The phrase is actually 'Apples vs oranges'. Of course, you could use what you like 'Elephants vs. chimpanzees'.

I normally don't give sse a second thought so thanks for the your tip and Ed Davis - one code snippet has just put a hole in my ceiling so I will be checking it out further.

While this may be correct in english, in german, we like to be, from afar different: it's as written ;-)

I made a simple algorithm, intentionally brute force with CASE.

I wonder, you have not C in your comparison, only C++ and C#. At Benchmarksgame C had the first place.

They have changed adress:

Yes it very much is. And in fact, case/switch is completely unnecessary for this search. Especially in C. A char is already a number; just use it directly. Just remove the switch stuff entirely, and make the alphabet based on 0, just like the code I posted. The speed up will be fairly dramatic.

As to Ed's port to C++ strings... why would you ever use C++ strings in this fashion?

Interesting that Javascript was faster than FB. This might mean that the JIT compiler in javascript recognized that the switch statement is unnecessary and optimized it out.

....
Compilers that are used as backend-language (like FB uses gcc as backend for cgen) for other development tools have such optimizations, since such frontend tools are usually not very optimizing, and the way code is generated block-by-block might make the resulting code weird and subject to optimizations one doesn't really need for human somewhat sane generated code.

For languages that are not a typical backend language optimizing such statements away is not as rewarding (lot of work to reward totally clueless users).

Also the case/switch statement itself has multiple possible choices, depending on target architecture. E.g. 8-bit micros often implement a binary search tree, since that 2logs() the number of instructions (roughly)

But for modern processors that is often bad again since that is too branchy (2log branches taken). Also they often care about alignment of branch targets.

Anyway, this is probably the usual microbenchmark. To be honest, if a benchmark is a math related problem/algorithm in one single sourcefile, and is advocated as a general benchmark (IOW without very specific explanations what it tests and why), I usually don't even bother to check it out. They are usually bad models for applications that do something, and not very useful for any purpose.

Hello,
I just post a few results in 32 or 64 bits with 2 source codes zxretrosoft's code and the modified caseih's version .
+ a problem with gcc32 . --> Edit : solved by St_W , libexec folder missing (but was in gcc-5.2.0-for-FB-win32-gengcc.zip ... )

Edit with the correct results ... :

Now , if a specialist can help me with gcc 32 bits that fails , i will appreciate !!! ; I can also start a new thread...

I downloaded gcc from sf , like fbc ; Please , see the results with 64 bits (ok) and 32 bits ( not ok) :

That most likely means you're missing cc1.exe, which is the C compiler. You have to put it in a special folder relative to gcc.exe so that it is found. The folder structure of the gcc addon for fb should be fine, so keep it and do not mess around.

Yes , exactly : libexec folder missing (but was in gcc-5.2.0-for-FB-win32-gengcc.zip ... )
Completed the results for gcc 32 .

--> Edited previous post with the correct results ...
