Do I need to be worried? My guess is 0.4 might be faster and maybe already be faster in all the cases below (do you know?):
From: http://julialang.org/ mandel: Julia 0.87 Lua 0.71 Java 0.68 [Interesting that all beat C (I guess C *could* match all languages..).] fib ("doubly recursive") Julia 2.14 Lua 2.02 Java 0.96 Fortran 0.57 quicksort Julia 1.21 Fortran 1.10 Go 1.09 In all other cases Julia beats all the others, except for C or Fortran (that it can already call) or in one case by a tiny bit for Python.. How soon can we excpect all factor to go to 1.0 or less (beating C) and below Fortran in those cases? I understand such as for, rand_mat_mul (the Python case) you would just call a Fortran library, just thinking is there an inherent reason Julia is still beaten? Does, say, the subarray work come to the rescue? These algorithms are just stand-ins. This is not about them.. -- Palli.
