I've been regularly running "smoke" benchmarks for the relation <https://docs.racket-lang.org/relation/index.html?q=relation> library, and just updated from Racket 7.5 (BC) to Racket CS 7.6. In case the data is useful to anybody, here are the before/after times. These benchmarks exercise elementary operations like comparisons for equality and order, function composition, type transformations, algebraic composition of numbers, strings, and so on. On these benchmarks, Racket CS seems to be faster across the board:
Equivalence relations: BC: 529ms CS: 444ms BC: 1661ms CS: 1347ms Order relations: BC: 778ms CS: 539ms BC: 4621ms CS: 3389ms Functional operations: BC: 442ms CS: 435ms BC: 2562ms CS: 2159ms Type transformations: BC: 410ms CS: 354ms BC: 599ms CS: 598ms Algebraic operators: BC: 600ms CS: 494ms BC: 8876ms CS: 6740ms On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 9:13 AM John Cowan <co...@ccil.org> wrote: > Perhaps separate OS processes would be a win in this case? > > On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 12:03 PM Matthew Butterick <m...@mbtype.com> wrote: > >> >> > On Feb 25, 2020, at 7:05 AM, Matthew Flatt <mfl...@cs.utah.edu> wrote: >> > >> > * CS has a single heap with a single-threaded, stop-the-world GC --- >> > so allocation and GC easily become a bottleneck. >> > >> > If GHC's experience is any guide, making the GC itself multithreaded >> > may address much of this problem. >> > >> > Locks on shared system data structures may also be a significant >> > obstacle to CPU utilization with places in CS, but I'm not sure. >> >> >> >> FWIW some quick timings on a Pollen render of practicaltypography.com. >> Though extra cores have diminishing net returns under Racket BC, the >> returns are still positive.
