Linux Number Crunching: Languages and Tools

Posted by chrisd on from the hyperthreading-seems-neat dept.

ChaoticCoyote writes " You've covered some of my past forays into benchmarking, so I thought Slashdot might be interested in Linux Number Crunching: Benchmarking Compilers and Languages for ia32. I wrote the article while trying to decide between competing technologies. No one benchmark (or set of benchmarks) provides an absolute answer -- but information helps make reasonable decisions. Among the topics covered: C++, Java, Fortran 95, gcc, gcj, Intel compilers, SMP, double-precision math, and hyperthreading."

    Nah seriously, a great article with many insightful points. We need more of these and less those thinly veiled advertisements for blinkenlights.

    Surely people remember that most excellent O'Reilly book, Numerical Recipes in AWK. Unfortunately the 1998 review of it has disappeared.
