Re: An overview of the Parrot interpreter [speed]

hi, I see that it was mentioned that Perl5 is fast than Java, Python etc... and was wondering is there any comparison how-much, if ? and if why ? and if we know the reason can we exploit it further ... and similar... And does really Perl6 will be faster. how much u expect ? Thanx = iVAN

All I found with lycos... but no speed comparison only mumbo-jumbo : http://language.perl.com/versus/ http://www.jvoegele.com/software/langcomp.html http://www.geocities.com/tablizer/langopts.htm http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~sholden/pythonperl.html http://www.pixeldate.com/dev/comparison/ = iVA

why is : make test_prog instead of just make = iVAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] =

run

what about adding "run" ! #!/usr/bin/perl -w my ($pasm) = $ARGV[0] =~ /(.*?)\./; system("./assemble.pl $ARGV[0] > $pasm.pbc ; ./test_prog $pasm.pbc"); cheers = iVAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] =

how to JIT ?

hi, how to compile JITed code ... !! Is there some list of tweaks, switches that can be used to speed up the Parrot? Particulary for people like me that are not very close to C programming :") thanx alot raptor [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm amazed - Is this true :")

mops tests : on perl5,python I get - 2.38 M/ops ruby ~ 1.9 M/ops ps ~ 1.5 M/ops parrot - 20.8 M/s parrot jitted - 341 M/ops and it finish in half second ... for most of the other I have to wait more that a minute .. I didnt expected it to be so fast :") ... Celeron800@1096Mhz (Mandrake 8.1) >

gcc vs ICC comparison

Does Parrot compile on ICC , if yes is it faster ? http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1056 CoyoteGulch.com has published an interesting article, benchmarking GCC 3.04 and ICC 6 (the article will be updated again after GCC 3.1's release). In the tests, ICC seems to pull ahead in most t
