Go: fib

Go code is relatively low-level since it does not have "foreach over range" syntax construct:

Results are not as impressive for a systems language: 2.38 seconds. And it lays below Rust but under Haskell:
  • C# - 1.26
  • D (DMD) - 1.3
  • F# - 1.38
  • Nemerle - 1.45
  • Rust - 1.66
  • Go - 2.38
  • Haskell - 2.8
  • Clojure - 9
  • Erlang - 17
  • Ruby - 60
  • Python - 120

What about reference C implementaion? Code for VS2013, in Release configuration 0.87 sec on my machine.

#include
#include

int fib(int n){
if (n < 2)
return n;
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}

int main()
{
clock_t begin = clock();

for (int n = 0; n < 40; n++) {
printf("fib (%d) = %d\n", n, fib(n));
}

clock_t end = clock();
double elapsed_secs = double(end - begin) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf("elapsed: %f secs\n", elapsed_secs);
return 0;
}

Give me a x64 exe and I'll run it on the machine I run all the benchmarks before.

Haskell: performance

It turned out that it's not Haskell who was slow in my previous Fibonacci test. It was my lack of Haskell knowledge. Haskell has two integral types - Int, which has bounds -2147483648..2147483647 and Integer, which is unbounded. Both types implement Integral type class, so out fib function can be defined in terms of this type class: OK, now we can test performance of the function parametrizing it with the two concrete types. Integer first: We get our previous result ~15 seconds which is rather slow. Now test it with Int type: Whoa! The Int type is ~6 times faster than Integer! And with result of 2.8 seconds Haskell's took the third position in our small rating :) Current list (in seconds): C# - 1.26 F# - 1.38 Nemerle - 1.45 Haskell - 2.8 Clojure - 9 Erlang - 17 Ruby - 60 Python - 120

Regular expressions: Rust vs F# vs Scala

Image
Let's implement the following task: read first 10M lines from a text file of the following format: then find all lines containing Microsoft namespace in them, and format the type names the usual way, like "Microsoft.Win32.IAssemblyEnum". First, F#: Now Rust: After several launches the file was cached by the OS and both implementations became non IO-bound. F# one took 29 seconds and 31MB of RAM at peak; Rust - 11 seconds and 18MB. The Rust code is as twice as long as F# one, but it's handling all possible errors explicitly - no surprises at runtime at all. The F# code may throw some exceptions (who knows what kind of them? Nobody). It's possible to wrap all calls to .NET framework with `Choice.attempt (fun _ -> ...)`, then define custom Error types for regex related code, for IO one and a top-level one, and the code'd be even longer then Rust's, hard to read and it would still give no guarantee that we catch all possible exceptions.

Hash maps: Rust, F#, D, Go, Scala

Image
Let's compare performance of hashmap implementation in Rust, .NET, D (LDC) and Go. Rust: F#: As you can see, Rust is slower at about 17% on insersions and at about 21% on lookups. Update As @GolDDranks suggested on Twitter , since Rust 1.7 it's possible to use custom hashers in HashMap. Let's try it: Yes, it's significantly faster: additions is only 5% slower than .NET implementation, and lookups are 32% *faster*! Great. Update: D added LDC x64 on windows It's very slow at insertions and quite fast on lookups. Update: Go added Update: Scala added Compared to Scala all the other languages looks equally fast :) What's worse, Scala loaded all four CPU cores at almost 100% during the test, while others used roughly single core. My guess is that JVM allocated so many objects (each Int is an object, BTW), that 3/4 of CPU time was spend for garbage collecting. However, I'm a Scala/JVM noob, so I just could write the whole b...
