Starting with your version, I got about a 2x improvement with the following:
(defn check-bounds [x y] (let [f2 (float 2.0) f4 (float 4.0)] (loop [px (float x) py (float y) zx (float 0.0) zy (float 0.0) zx2 (float 0.0) zy2 (float 0.0) value (float 0)] (if (and (< value (*max-steps*)) (< (+ zx2 zy2) f4)) (let [new-zy (float (+ (* (* f2 zx) zy) py)) new-zx (float (+ (- zx2 zy2) px)) new-zx2 (float (* new-zx new-zx)) new-zy2 (float (* new-zy new-zy))] (recur px py new-zx new-zy new-zx2 new-zy2 (inc value))) (if (== value (*max-steps*)) 0 value))))) f2 and f4 didn't do much, most improvement seems to come from (* (* f2 zx) zy) in place of (* f2 zx zy). Using the arity 2 multiply results in the multiply being inlined. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
