After following Jason's suggestion to use BigInteger and .multiply
instead of BigInt and * I too am getting speed on par with Java (108-109
miroseconds on my RPI). Therefore, I consider this issue closed :)
@Stuart
thanks for running the benchmark yourself...maybe I could have save you
so
Hi Jim,
I cannot reproduce your results. I see Clojure and Java with similar
performance when they are both using java.lang.BigInteger. Clojure's
arbitrary-precision integer defaults to clojure.lang.BigInt, which in my
test is about 12% slower than java.lang.BigInteger.
See https://gist.github.co
I guess this is not connected to our issue.
You're using Clojure's BigInt, which is probably a bit slower than
BigInteger if you know you want it to be big:
user> (class 1N)
clojure.lang.BigInt
Have you tried translating your Java code directly to see if that helps?

I got nothin'. Stare at the bytecode?

with a long counter it needs slightly longer (216 microseconds in
average instead of 196)!
any other ideas?

I'm really sorry for coming back to this but even after everything we
learned I'm still not able to get performance equal to java in a simple
factorial benchmark. I'd like to think that I'm doing all the correct
things to keep the comparison fair...observe this:

This looks very interesting, thanks for sharing! I'll think about it a bit
while working on our codebase and see if I can contribute any good examples.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you weren't. ;)
It was me who wasn't careful: when I started investigating
this, I used a dead-code loop similar to the Gist I posted,
which made it look like Clojure 1.2 was much faster than
1.5. I guesse
Yes, I agree that this is very confusing behavior -- I just chimed in
on the pull request. Thanks again for your help and this follow-up.

Since this was so confusing, I've filed an issue with Leiningen to make

Holy crap, the ^:replace seems to improve my example to the performance of
Java! I'm looking further, but that may be the key.

Hi Rich,
I don't see any difference between 1.5.1 and 1.6.0 master. The good news
is that Stuart Sierra nailed the problem above -- I had no idea that
leiningen messed with jvm-opts in the host process, and that seems to have
been solely responsible for the performance issues (so we're at Jav
One has to be very careful with this kind of
micro-benchmarking on the JVM. Dead-code elimination can

doing anything. For example, in Java:

Being careful not to have dead code, I get about the same
Could you please try your tests against master?
Here, I went from 145ms to 85ms going from 1.5.1 to 1.6.0 master.
If it's the same for you, someone can git bisect and figure out what's up.
Thanks,
Rich

JIT will probably remove unnecessary checkcast instructions. What looks
suspicious to me is that i and asize are converted to longs (notice i2l
opcodes). I noticed earlier that loops with long counters are measurably
slower for the same number of iterations (probably, HotSpot does not

Hey Mikera,
I did look at core.matrix awhile ago, but I'll take another look.
Right now, flop is just trying to make it easy to write *arbitrary*
array operations compactly, while minimizing the chance of getting
worse-than-Java performance. This used to be very tricky to get right
when flop wa
Hi Jason,
Have you guys taken a look at core.matrix for any of this stuff? We're also
shooting for near-Java-parity for all of the core operations on large
double arrays.
(use 'clojure.core.matrix)
(require '[criterium.core :as c])
(let [a (double-array (range 1))]
(c/quick-bench (
Maybe this is an unintended side effect of the changes around unboxed
support in loop/recur?

Thanks for your response. I attempted to answer this in my clarification,

the same speed for array handling in natural-seeming Clojure without

This doesn't really answer your question directly, but is there a reason you
need to keep this in clojure, or are you just aiming to establish why this is
happening?
My understanding was that for performance critical code the general advice is
to drop down to raw java?

Taking a step back, the core problem we're trying to solve is just to sum
an array's values as quickly as in Java. (We really want to write a fancier
macro that allows arbitrary computations beyond summing that can't be

Hi. I've been working with people at Prismatic to optimize some simple math
code in Clojure. However, it seems that Clojure generates an unnecessary
type check that slows our (otherwise-optimized) code by 50%. Is there a
good way to avoid this, is it a bug in Clojure 1.5.1, or something else?
