As a benchmark of J %. is the same today as it was in 1990.

In talking about this with Roger Hui in the early days of j, I suggested that maybe using my favorite benchmark was inappropriate to look at j. He countered by saying that because of the way he had implemented matrix inverse, using j primitives to code it rather than hand tuned assembler code as used in mainframe systems, he reckoned it was a pretty fair test. So I have continued to try it to evaluate systems over the 17 years since then. I don't know if it is still true that %. is a "fair benchmark", Roger would have to comment on that.... ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
