Hey, I did optimize both! didn't you see the -O3 ?! Well the result are... well.... I didn't know gcc was that bad!.... :omg: That make me rethink about life! :laugh:

From the top of my head:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;int main()
{
double sum = 0.;
for (unsigned i = 0; i < 0xffffffU; ++i) {
char buffer[1024];
for (int j = 0; j < 1024; ++j)
sum += buffer[j];

cout << sum;

I just looked at your specs... you realize that the 2800+ is the relative performance compared to an Intel right? My AMD is only 1.8ghz and runs faster than this one at work. I don't have any of my fast computers at the moment. :)

I tried cl /O2 /EHsc sieve.cpp It compiled without any message but crashed right away... Now, if C++ is so much more powerfull, why do I need an optimized compiler? :doh:

You obviously have no clue as to the difference between what a compiler is and what a language is.

if it is so obvious there is no need to add anything ;P although I could comment that I do have no clue about what is the diference between the gcc compiler and an optimized compiler ;P

Nope, it's only slower than C#, that is a great selling point! :laugh:

If I'm using MSVC, do you think it's really worth it to switch over to Intel's compiler? And, does it integrate into VS? Just curious to know, as I've never used it, but I've heard positive stories about it.

Well, previous post have shown the speed superiority of C++ already. And the slowness of GCC as well. And it's time to go to bed for me so I won't test it now. But here is the C# version:
using System;
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
double sum;
// you can't use unintialized buffer in C#
// and I though a new at each iteration was overkill
char[] buf = new char[1024];
for(uint i=0; i -

Time to go to bed... But I wonder if someone could be so kind to redo the test with a 3rd compiler & language (actuially run the 3 test on its computer, so we could compare!) The C++ & C# version http://www.csharphelp.com/archives2/archive458.html[^] and the D version! The source is there: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/overview.html[^] At the end of the page. And the compiler could be downloaded from there[^].

It's obvious to us; it's apparently not obvious to you. :-D

Of course it is an overkill, but it is a benchmark, isn't it?

Jeremy Falcon
last time i used it, the integration was almost seamless. the performance wasn't much better, if at all, for my stuff. but i'd already optimized the hell out of my code with the MS compiler, so the Intel compiler didn't have much to work with. maybe if i'd given it more naive implementations, it would have done better against MS.
Why donchoo take a peekchur mayn? OK, cleeeeek

To me, it's not a big deal whether C# is exactly as fast as managed code for a particular scenario. What matters to me is that I've found that C# is fast enough that I can almost always write code that is as fast as or often faster than typical C++ code with little extra effort taken for the perf aspect. Other people's code, whether it be managed or unmanaged, is usually where I run into perf problems, and there's more than a few times that I've written extra managed code to get around a perf problem in 3rd-party unmanaged code that I'm interop'ing with.
