I think you should state what system was used for the comparison. Just because factorial is quick in Sage on system 'A', does not mean it is so on system 'B'. Some processors are particularly good at floating point, some are pretty dumb at it. (I believe the early Sun CoolThreads T1 processor has only one FPU to share between all the cores). > I've CCed me to http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/6808 so that I > can add more selected benchmarks and probably a link to the script > from the website once it is ready. > We could also think about expanding http://wiki.sagemath.org/Benchmarks It would be great if someone could write that benchmark. If we can collect some results, I could ask Karl if he would link to the page. Just make sure he, and his web site are mentioned as the source when one does help(benchmark) or whatever it's called. Since there are likely to be multiple benchmarks, it would be worth thinking about sensible names for them. dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
