I started doing something similar for Groovy a while back (with @CompileStatic, Groovy should now be as fast as Java for all the benchmarks) but ran out of cycles and had to put it on the back burner. If I could track and chip in with a D variant, mayhap this will help get the Groovy/Java version back on track. I would run the codes on my ancient dual Xeon workstation, so slow for sequential but excellent for dealing with scaling issues. I could easily run D codes as well as the C, C++, Fortran, Java and Groovy ones. For D I would suggest C, C++ and Fortran as the comparison languages. Using the codes Isaac uses would seem entirely appropriate for this, then D is the only variable (other than the machine used for the tests). For the Groovy version my intention had been to use Isaac's C++ and Java as the comparison languages. I had always been intending to publish the results via my own server by adding an extra virtual address to my Apache instance, however if there is a possibility of joining forces with a D activity "in the Cloud", I'd be happy to do that. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
