20+ years of RPSORT dominance
-
Last night I made a free open-source sort-showdown package Sandokan_vs_Windows-sort_vs_GNU-sort_vs_DOS-RPSORT.zip 4.75 MB (4,981,422 bytes), these are notes which I wanted to share with all C programmers: Back in 1992 RPSORT was a phenom, just wanted to see how my experimental console sorter Sandokan (written in C) behaves among Windows sort, ported GNU sort and the 16bit Bob Pirko's excellent tool (written in assembler). Note 1: The package can be downloaded freely at: www.sanmayce.com/Downloads/Sandokan_vs_Windows-sort_vs_GNU-sort_vs_DOS-RPSORT.zip Note 2: This console-sort-test needs Windows 32bit because many 64bit Windowses do not support 16bit code. Note 3: You may use/start the shortcut 'KAZE prompt.lnk' - it offers easy-to-the-eyes prompt i.e. font/color/size. Note 4: Sources of all (except Windows' one) participants are given. Note 5: Sandokan executables 32bit/64bit are included, Intel 12.1 and Microsoft VS2010 compilers were used, yes 4 EXEs in total. Just run the batch file: Sandokan_vs_Windows-sort_vs_GNU-sort_vs_DOS-RPSORT.bat To sort (on my laptop T7500 2200MHz 4MB L2 4GB DDR2, Windows XP 32bit) first 3 million (129 bytes long strings) Knight-Tours took 33s/39s/94s/21s respectively for Sandokan/Windows-sort/GNU-sort/RPSORT. Also I ran Sandokan under Linux: On laptop Pentium Dual-Core E6500 2.93GHz, 2048 kB L2-Cache, 4GB DDR2, Fedora 16 x86_64: using gcc (GCC) 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) using sort (GNU coreutils) 8.12
Sandokan sorts those 3,000,000 lines for:
real 0m25.975ssort sorts those 3,000,000 lines for:
real 1m0.220sRobert Pirko still rules... Hats down I guess. Can anyone share with us a similar High-Performance [not] free, [not] open-source (for Windows to be more specific) console sorter?
Get down get down get down get it on show love and give it up What are you waiting on?

Write an article about it instead of dumping that here. I will not open/download your stuff.
Watched code never compiles.

Not to mention it's very hard to read due to a lack of clear text.
