Ahh you didn't rerun the fortran version.
I dumped the FORTRAN version. The print formatting was impossible to get right, and the other natively compiled code tests basically show what FORTRAN would do anyway.
Impossible, come now, you should know thats not true. I would rate it in the region of fairly to moderately difficult. Or at the very least, 'not easy'.

Any chance you can test GenPrime using Ruby 1.9, Tycho? I'd like to see the differences.

Nevermind, ran it on my laptop running Ubuntu 8.10.

Versions:
Code:
ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux] ruby1.9 -v ruby 1.9.0 (2008-06-20 revision 17482) [i486-linux] php -v PHP 5.2.6-2ubuntu4.1 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Feb 11 2009 20:38:24)
Results:
ruby 1.8.7:
Code:
ruby genprime.rb 250000 1000000 Found 250000 primes in 219.86265 seconds (last was 3497861) Found 500000 primes in 617.49590 seconds (last was 7368787) Found 750000 primes in 1132.28696 seconds (last was 11381621) Found 1000000 primes in 1750.21173 seconds (last was 15485863)
ruby 1.9.0:
Code:
ruby1.9 genprime.rb 250000 1000000 Found 250000 primes in 45.06478 seconds (last was 3497861) Found 500000 primes in 124.48929 seconds (last was 7368787) Found 750000 primes in 227.51096 seconds (last was 11381621) Found 1000000 primes in 350.35934 seconds (last was 15485863)
php 5.2.6:
Code:
Found 250000 primes in 84.97550 seconds (last was 3497861) Found 500000 primes in 237.42517 seconds (last was 7368787) Found 750000 primes in 435.71111 seconds (last was 11381621) Found 1000000 primes in 665.24334 seconds (last was 15485863)
These are all Ubuntu versions, NOT the latest releases from each language's developers. (Especially the PHP version, 5.2.6 is old)

I'm surprised how much faster 1.9 is (and now I must switch to Ruby as my primary scripting language, due to a deal between ChaosR and I.)

Impressive. I wonder what the differences are between the 1.8.x and 1.9.x series which so drastically changed performance?

A bytecode interpreter instead of a syntax tree interpreter.

At least Ruby now can be considered competition for the others...

With today's release of Go, I thought I would write a version of GenPrime for it, one because I wanted to see if it was really as speedy as it says and two to practice this new language.

First, the C version as a comparison:
Code:
eddie@ganglion:~/dev/genprime$ ./genprime-c 250000 1000000 Found 250000 primes in 5.75923 seconds (last was 3497861) Found 500000 primes in 16.15777 seconds (last was 7368787) Found 750000 primes in 29.94442 seconds (last was 11381621) Found 1000000 primes in 46.37428 seconds (last was 15485863)
Now for Go:
Code:
eddie@ganglion:~/dev/genprime$ ./genprime-go 250000 1000000 Found 250000 primes in 4.253223 seconds (last was 3497861) Found 500000 primes in 12.105688 seconds (last was 7368787) Found 750000 primes in 22.779920 seconds (last was 11381621) Found 1000000 primes in 34.426428 seconds (last was 15485863)
I compiled the Go version with the Plan 9 compiler (6g). Apparently there is a GCC port that is reported to produced more optimized code in some cases, so if anyone wants to test this code with the GCC port I'd be interested to see the results.

I'll be committing my code to my GitHub fork of GenPrime.

Ah, you used floating-point math, while the other implementations use integer math.

Yes, you can get some speedups doing this, especially on Core 2 processors because a tight loop of integer divisions will always lose to a tight loop of floating-point divisions. You can do the same with the C version by using 'float' for prime_t and fmod() to replace the modulus operator.

I'll work up some code which demonstrates this.

No, I can do so tomorrow if you remind me somehow. Email would do.

That Java vs. Python results in your first post made me suspicous, cos Python is not that slow. Second thought was that its cos you ran it on a multi-core, maybe? Did Java utilize both cores? Cos Python does not support multi-threading, rather multi-processing.
Oh, and whats about Delphi? Not sure if Delphi still counts, cos Ive heard it compiles with C now. Not sure. Long time ago that Ive used Delphi/Pascal.

Python really is that slow. I have numerous examples to show it, too. If you or anyone else is interested, I can make these public. It's sad, too, because I'm a huge Python fan. It's a fantastic language, but the main implementation (CPython) is horrendously slow. Hopefully the Unladen Swallow guys finally get some optimization done and get their code merged into CPython.

And no, multi-core couldn't have made a difference. We didn't really do anything in these tests that could be done in parallel, nor did we explicitly try to do so.

It's increasingly difficult to find Delphi or Pascal compilers. But if you want to contribute the code, go ahead. I just won't be able to test it.
