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!

Use the Intel compiler. :) It is so talented, you can even turn on emulation of MS compiler bugs if necessary. :laugh:

gcc is not exactly known for the speed of its code. try MSVC or Intel.
Why donchoo take a peekchur mayn? OK, cleeeeek

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 realize the C# compiler optimizes your code, too. right ?

I tried to make a C++ project with VS... Obviously I'm not used to.. It doesn't recognize 'vector' :sigh: could anyone do the test? :sigh: (otherwise I could believe you are afraid to see C++ be beaten)

That's the whole point. C++ is more powerfull if you optimize it. The compilers for C++ have way more optimizing options, since they can do stuff different on machinecode level. C# has to rely on the optimisations of the IL JIT compiler. Its funny to see that C# can be faster ;P Although the comparison is a little off, because of the difference in optimizations used.

That's like asking 'why do I need second through fifth gear?' in a 5-speed car.

change to 562 Intel 8.0 and MSVC 6.0 You are running twice the time of "last generation's technology." :) shall I load up Intel 9.0 on another machine and make the difference greater? -- modified at 11:47 Tuesday 1st August, 2006

you have one in C#, which is an optimizing compiler, just different concept. If you want to compare non-optimizing C++ to optimized C# and claim a definite win, you really need to rethink.

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

Wrong! You should test both program on your computer! because my computer is probably much slower than yours! otherwise you compare my C# version on my PC to you C++ version on your PC. well, all the C++ coder seems afraid to see the truth I could see... ;P

In case you don't know how to compile C# let's at least compare the computer's spec. I have and AMD Semprom 2800+ 1.61 GHz

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