<h2>Benchmark</h2>
|
|
|
|
Benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt. <a
|
|
href="http://ecls.sourceforge.net">ECL</a> does not aim to compete with any
|
|
commercial or open source implementation. The purpose of these benchmarks are,
|
|
thus, to show the progress of <a href="http://ecls.sourceforge.net">ECL</a>
|
|
itself from version to version.
|
|
|
|
<p>It also serves to show how well other implementations perform: CLISPc, which
|
|
is based on bytecodes, is astonishingly fast, compared to other bytecodes
|
|
implementations (ECLi, CMUCLi) and to native code implementations (ECLc,
|
|
CMUCLc).
|
|
|
|
<p>All benchmarks are executed one after another. The benchmark currently shows
|
|
just mean execution times in seconds, using English decimal point (0.03 = 3/100
|
|
seconds). This means that performance of garbage collectors has a deep impact
|
|
in these numbers.
|
|
|
|
<p>It would be nice to collect some other information, such as memory use and
|
|
garbage collector timings, but that is beyond my reach for now. Help is always
|
|
welcome.
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, I have decided to distribute Gabriel's benchmarks together with <a
|
|
href="http://ecls.sourceforge.net">ECL</a>. The reason is that this code seems
|
|
to belong to public domain and I had to perform several changes in order to let
|
|
it run with different implementations. To recreate the benchmark just get in
|
|
<tt>build/gabriel/</tt> and type <tt>make</tt>.
