C# vs. C++ performance [modified] (Contest)
-
On another thread some posted this link: http://www.csharphelp.com/archives2/archive458.html[^] Now I was very suprised by this bad C# result, it's not at all what I experience! So I decided to test my self! I have .NET 2 and gcc 3.4.4 I compiled like this: CPP> gcc -O3 -o sieve2.exe sieve.cpp -lstdc++ C#> csc /o+ /nologo /out:sieve.exe Sieve.cs I got: C# 10000 Milliseconds = 1156 C++ 10000 Milliseconds = 1313 Haheum..... what else can I say? -- modified at 11:18 Tuesday 1st August, 2006 I propose a Contest. Post a small C++ performance test program here (less than 200 readable lines). I'll try to beat it with a C# version!
on my machine C# (VS05) : 812 C++ (VC6) : 578 C++ (VS03) : 609 the C++ app won't run on VS05. out of range error in one of the vector iterator hits. default release build settings, for each -- modified at 12:04 Tuesday 1st August, 2006
Why donchoo take a peekchur mayn? OK, cleeeeek

Not all of us have C# on every machine.... but it was on a 3.0ghz Intel P4. what machine was yours on?

Is it .NET2?? .NET2 is much better than .NET1 !

grumble grumble growl... you made me pull out my 7.2 .net on the laptop, compile, move the application over and run... ;P 1000ms C# 562 Intel C++ Satisfied yet? yes, I moved to release on both, yes, using optimized on both rather than YOUR optimized on one and non on the other....

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

I simply took the sources from the article: http://www.csharphelp.com/archives2/archive458.html[^]

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
