Hi all, I apologize for the extra email.
The fastest time posted at the shootout site is 19.77 seconds. http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/performance.php?test=mandelbrot The MCE + Inline::C example runs 10 times faster. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1129370 $ time perl mandelbrot1.pl 16000 > m1.pbm real 8m38.383s ( Perl code by Mykola Zubach, threads only ) $ time perl mandelbrot2.pl 16000 > m2.pbm real 3m52.245s ( MCE supporting threads and processes ) $ time perl mandelbrot3.pl 16000 > m3.pbm real 1.974s ( MCE + Inline::C, mind boggling ) The upcoming MCE 1.7 release has faster startup, job submission, shutdown for the Windows platform including Cygwin. Thus, lesser overhead. Btw, the above was tested against MCE 1.608. Perl is fast, very fast actually :-) Kind regards, Mario On Sun, Jun 7, 2015 at 9:51 PM, Mario Roy <marioe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Many folks were unable to go unfortunately.
