Floating Point Benchmark: Smalltalk Language Added
I have posted an update to my trigonometry-intense floating point benchmark which adds Smalltalk to the list of languages in which the benchmark is implemented. A new release of the benchmark collection including Smalltalk is now available for downloading. The Smalltalk benchmark was developed and tested on GNU Smalltalk version 2.3.5 on Fedora 7 Linux; the relative performance of the various language implementations (with C taken as 1) is as follows. All benchmarks were run on the same Dell Inspiron 9100 Pentium 4 machine. All implementations of the benchmark listed below produced identical results to the last (11th) decimal place.Language | Relative Time |
