Hello, In order to understand the agent model of Clojure better I wrote the alioth shootout threadring benchmark [1]. I ran some tests to compare it with the Java and Scala implementation [2, 3] which I picked from the published benchmarks.
The clojure code can be found here: http://gist.github.com/124688 The benchmark from my two core 1.7GHz pentium system (ubuntu 9.04) w/ 1GB RAM can be found here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rQLD6jgTTV5OqXwHdXtrTyg In summary, scala implementation is 6.34x times slower than java, clojure is 7.8x. Avg CPU consumption is 93.3% for java and 179.2% and 131.34% for scala and clojure respectively. I thought of sharing this in case others are interested. As this is my first program using clojure agents I would appreciate any comments on improving the Clojure implementation (or in case there are any bugs). Thanks. Parth PS: For the Java implementation I happen to pick the "interesting alternate programs" (Java 6 -server #5) but it was already quite late in the cycle when I realized that. So the Java numbers are probably better than the other java implementations.
