Languages

A repo for collaboratively building small benchmarks to compare languages. If you have a suggestion for improvement: PR! If you want to add a language: PR!

Running

To run one of the benchmarks:

  1. cd into desired benchmark directory (EG $ cd loops)
  2. Compile by running $ ../compile.sh
  3. Run via $ ../run.sh. You should see output something like:
$ ../run.sh

Benchmarking Zig
Benchmark 1: ./zig/code 40
  Time (mean ± σ):     513.9 ms ±   2.9 ms    [User: 504.5 ms, System: 2.6 ms]
  Range (min … max):   510.6 ms … 516.2 ms    3 runs


Benchmarking C
Benchmark 1: ./c/code 40
  Time (mean ± σ):     514.0 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 505.6 ms, System: 2.8 ms]
  Range (min … max):   513.2 ms … 515.2 ms    3 runs


Benchmarking Rust
Benchmark 1: ./rust/target/release/code 40
  Time (mean ± σ):     514.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 504.6 ms, System: 3.1 ms]
  Range (min … max):   512.4 ms … 516.3 ms    3 runs

...
  1. For good measure, execute $ ../clean.sh when finished.

Hyperfine is used to warm, execute, and time the runs of the programs.

Adding

To add a language:

  1. Select the benchmark directory you want to add to (EG $ cd loops)
  2. Create a new subdirectory for the language (EG $ mkdir rust)
  3. Implement the code in the appropriately named file (EG: code.rs)
  4. If the language is compiled, add appropriate command to ../compile.sh and ../clean.sh
  5. Add appropriate line to ../run.sh

You are also welcome to add new top-level benchmarks dirs

Corresponding visuals

Several visuals have been published based on the work here. More will likely be added in the future, as this repository improves:
