Kinx Benchmark

Overview

This markdown document is another example of SpecTest. Although there is overhead to run the script, SpecTest can measure the running time. This means it can be an easy benchmark system.

To change the interpreter per test code, add (interpreter) name after the subject of #### Code like examples below. To run this benchmark, do the command below under the root of Kinx repository.

$ ./kinx --exec:spectest -v -f doc/benchmark/.spectest

Note that Ruby and Python must be installed and the path for all interpreters must be set, to run this benchmark.

Examples

Example 1. fibonacci(Kinx Native)

Code (kinx)

native fib(n) {
    if (n < 3) return n;
    return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1);
}
System.println(fib(34));

Result

9227465

Example 2. fibonacci(Kinx Normal)

Code (kinx)

function fib(n) {
    if (n < 3) return n;
    return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1);
}
System.println(fib(34));

Result

9227465

Example 3. fibonacci(Ruby)

Code (ruby)

def fib(n)
  if n < 3
    return n;
  else
    return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1);
  end
end

puts fib(34)

Result

9227465

Example 4. fibonacci(Python)

Code (python)

import sys

def fib(n):
    if n < 3:
        return n
    else:
        return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)

print fib(int(34))

Result

9227465
