        Are you sure you got the optimized version of the C# code? I mean, yea it's supposed to be lame, but it's worse than I expected

            That is like looking for performance from Java: You won't get it. If you need (or want) performance, don't do retards' languages. I know this thread isn't meant to incite hatred against retards' languages.

            Mechanical, I checked your profile. You've never authored an article, posted a snippet, entered a blog post, or otherwise shared any original thought, except to snipe at other people's comments on the message boards. In other words, you have yet to provide any empirical evidence for your worth to this site. No be a good boy and go away, please.

              My statement was made because I had to maintain some Native code I wrote some years ago. I realized how retarded I had become doing retards' languages.

              The Raymond Chen vs. Rico Mariani competition comes to mind. Clickety[^] Clickety-Click[^] The final result, at first look, supports your statement: The C++ version completed before the .NET application even did load. However, when you look at the history and details, you see that the road to the superfast C++ application was a rocky one, introducing subtle bugs and requiring a very experienced developer to counter the rather simple improvements to the C# solution.


              With extensions like LINQ, Closures, Lambdas, Generics and some syntactic sugar, C# has become a rather complex and powerful language. It's complex and powerful in a different sense than C++, but still.

                  Nothing to do with the optimisation, but what about using the StopWatch class instead of datetime? Start the stop watch immediately before you enter the loop, and then stop it as soon as the loop exists.

                  I agree. On my machine 10 iterations take 0.5 milliseconds, which DateTime.Now can't catch at all. :)

                    You need to be careful, the JIT will turn off optimizations when running inside the Visual Studio debugger (even in release builds!). To get the optimized JITted assembly code, you need to run your program from the command line, then attach the debugger to the running process, and click Break.

                      Well I've written a C# version that runs 15-20% faster that your original on my PC. It doesn't use unsafe either. But I don't think you'll like it.

                      private static void SafeTest_Improved1(string[] args)
                      {
                      int NUM = int.Parse(args[0]);
                      int end = 8193;
                      var primes = new byte[8193]{

                          Yes but where did you get the disassembled C# code from? It looks like all locals are on the stack (never in registers), which the JIT normally does only when a debugger is attached.

                            Are you sure you got the optimized version of the C# code? I mean, yea it's supposed to be lame, but it's worse than I expected

                            Yes it! :( Is it that bad? I'm not that conversant in ASM, so I couldn't tell... But in a way that's good news, they have room for improvement! Now, what are they waiting for!?! :rolleyes:

                              Ha, the disassembly I got it from VS! Not sure how to get it otherwise... Because on the disk it's not compiled, it's just MSIL, and even if I NGen I dunno where they store the compiled version! (BTW I just tried NGen and it was not faster!?!)

                                  Nothing to do with the optimisation, but what about using the StopWatch class instead of datetime? Start the stop watch immediately before you enter the loop, and then stop it as soon as the loop exists.

                                  well, I run 10000 thousand iteration to compare them, so DateTime seems precise enough! :) I did use StopWatch in the past but, I dunno, was never converted to it, I guess I never needed to make measurement precise enough!

                                    To get the optimized JITted assembly code, you need to run your program from the command line, then attach the debugger to the running process, and click Break. Because your Main function was already running before you attached the debugger, it will still have the real native code. .NET doesn't re-jit anything when attaching a debugger.

                                      Yes, unfortunately. There are other performance comparisons as well but there is no point in posting the links here. As i said earlier, following the sheep..... :)

                                        Well I've written a C# version that runs 15-20% faster that your original on my PC. It doesn't use unsafe either. But I don't think you'll like it.

                                        private static void SafeTest_Improved1(string[] args)
                                        {
                                        int NUM = int.Parse(args[0]);
                                        int end = 8193;
                                        var primes = new byte[8193]{
                                        1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,

                                        :laugh: you could have moved the "for(...) prims[i] = 1" statement out of the loop for the same (and more condensed) result! But this is an unfair comparison with C++, you removed a whole set a "required" operation for the algorithm! Although... I wonder if an array copy from an initialized array would speed up things....

                                        A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.

                                          Mechanical, I checked your profile. You've never authored an article, posted a snippet, entered a blog post, or otherwise shared any original thought, except to snipe at other people's comments on the message boards. In other words, you have yet to provide any empirical evidence for your worth to this site. No be a good boy and go away, please.
