I'm trying to speed up computing terms of a simple recurrence where the terms are computed modulo some value each iteration,
(defn NF-mod-limit [p q limit] (loop [n 0, nf 0, z 0, S 290797] (if (= n (inc q)) nf (recur (inc n) (mod (+ nf (* (mod S p) z)) limit) (mod (inc (* p z)) limit) (mod (* S S) 50515093)))))) So I added in some type hinting, (defn NF-mod-limit [p q limit] (let [p (long p) q (long q) limit (long limit)] (loop [n (long 0), nf (long 0), z (long 0), S (long 290797)] (if (= n (inc q)) nf (recur (inc n) (long (mod (+ nf (* (long (mod S p)) z)) limit)) (long (mod (inc (* p z)) limit)) (long (mod (* S S) 50515093))))))) But it doesn't run any faster. Also it doesn't work without casting to long within the recur. Is that maybe a problem with mod and primitive arithmetic or does this simply not speed up any more in Clojure? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
