Nine Language Performance Round-up: Benchmarking Math & File I / O Posted by special contributor Christopher W. Cowell-Shah on 2004-01-08 19:33:22 UTCThis article discusses a small-scale benchmark test run on nine modern computer languages or variants: Java 1.3.1, Java 1.4.2, C compiled with gcc 3.3.1, Python 2.3.2, Python compiled with Psyco 1.1.1, and the four languages supported by Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET 2003 development environment: Visual Basic, Visual C #, Visual C , and Visual J #. The benchmark tests arithmetic and trigonometric functions using a variety of data types, and also tests simple file I / O. All tests took place on a Pentium 4-based computer running Windows XP. Update: Delphi Version of The Benchmark Here.
