• Revised numbers

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Fri Mar 16 23:33:44 2001
    These are revised numbers based on fresh testing on nearly-zero loaded systems:

    Script P3-700/WinNT4 P2-300/WinME P1-200/Linux 2.2
    ------ ------------- ------------ ----------------
    Baja/PCMS 32,000 1,000 80,000
    JavaScript 38,000 3,200 2,200

    (again, numbers were averaged and rounded)

    I don't know what's wrong with Netscape's code on Linux, but man, Linux seems to like MY code. :-)

    It would be interesting to see some comparable numbers for VBScript, Tcl, Perl, and other major scripting languages. I'm sure Angus is probably already working on a Perl module (the proverbial "Pandora's Box"?).

    It would be interesting to see some comparable numbers for VBScript, Tcl, Pe and other major scripting languages. I'm sure Angus is probably already work on a Perl module (the proverbial "Pandora's Box"?).

    Alright, alright. I can take a hint!

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    # PCMS Bench (only in Perl)

    my ($i, $t, $start); # int i t start

    $i = 0; # set i 0
    &clock_sync(); # call clock_sync
    printf "Calculating Performance ..."; # printf "Calculating Performance ..." while (($t = time()) <= $start) {$i++} # :loop
    # time t
    # compare start t
    # if_equal
    # add i 1
    # goto loop
    # end_if

    #printf "\r\n%lu addition and get-time-of-day operations per second\r\n" i print "\n$i addition and get-time-of-day operations per second\n";

    exit 0; # return

    sub clock_sync() { # :clock_sync
    printf "Synchronizing clock ..."; # printf "Synchronizing clock ..."
    $t = time(); # time t
    while (($start = time()) == $t) {} # :sync_loop
    # time start
    # compare start t
    # if_equal
    # goto sync_loop
    # end_if
    print "\n"; # crlf
    } # return

    Fairly literal translation, possibly a ton of Perlesque optimizations that could be done, but it's too early in the morning for that. On Zaphod (a lightly loaded Celeron 500)

    Synchronizing clock ...
    Calculating Performance ...
    671193 addition and get-time-of-day operations per second

    Interesting to see what the P-III/700 does. Also, Rob, you C-fiend you, what does it look like in C?

    Oh, I ran that several times with results all in the 670,000 to 671,000 range b ut I don't know what averaging and rounding you used. I think it might be an idea to run the loop over a longer period, say 10 sec or even more, but I don't know how to achieve this without loading the loop with additional calculations. maybe add 10 to $start before the loop begins? But then $start would become $stop.....

    Wow, that's fast. On Linux, I presume?

    I'm sure it's a very high number, but my interest was in the comparable speed of the script interpretter, not the CPU. :-)

    Nothing scientific, I just ran it about 10 times and saw what the average appeared to be and rounded to the nearest 100.

    Script P3-700/WinNT4 P2-300/WinME P1-200/Linux 2.2
    ------ ------------- ------------ ----------------
    Baja/PCMS 32,000 1,000 80,000
    JavaScript 38,000 3,200 2,200

    For some reason with the JavaScript code directly linked to the BBS, I'm getting an average of 7700 on the P2-300/WinME machine.

    Yes, that's right, JavaScript linked into the BBS. :-)

    Yep. 2.2.16 with an absolute minimum of patches. And it's Perl, v5.6.0 built for i686-linux.
