[image] This old programming language is suddenly hot again. But its future is still... One of the oldest coding languages is going through something of a renaissance. But can it really hold its own against newer options?

Thanks. I ran @time several times and took the best timing. I think that would ensure the compilation time is not included. Or am I wrong?

That’s fine. That’s what @btime does for you.

Referencing an earlier post about using Julia in restricted environments: I encountered something similar when I tried to write a custom AWS Lambda runtime for Julia. I don’t recall if I used ApplicationBulder or PackageCompiler, so I can’t be as specific as I would like to be, but a simple hello …

[image] certik: $ gfortran -Ofast avx.f90 $ ./a.out Time 1.4622860000000000 Huh, I must be missing something here. It seems you are calling sin() 100,000,000 times, which suggests to me that the cost of adding the various results is a small percentage of the computation. The comput…

I was the one originally posting this test, and the purpose was only to compare the possible overhead of threading in comparison to a OpenMP. The reason for using a sin there is because with that the compiler cannot trick us by determining the result without computing the sum.

@dcgrigsby please look at this thread. The limits on lambda have changed. The report here is that the Julia image size is around 500mb [image] [ANN] AWS Lambda Julia runtime Package Announcements Hello all, I’ve seen the question of using Julia in AWS Lambda come up a f…

John! That is great! Really great to see that this has opened up as an option.

[image] rfateman: The Julia benchmarks I was able to easily spot (via Google) were kind of micro-optimization claims, but maybe there’s more? Yes, this is just a “proxy benchmark”, as @lmiq said. I actually like this particular “proxy”, as I often find having a loop and calling a subroutine i…

[image] certik: will not agree on how to run the benchmark In my relatively short experience here it is virtually impossible to “agree” on these benchmarks. Both languages can write code equally performant, and “fairness” is in the eyes of the beholder. I had before written Julia code faster …

I suppose that if you are comparing a loop of sequentially computing a modest function call (sine of an integer) and trying to compute the same functions in some maximally parallel fashion, and tying this together by summing them … you could write it as map-reduce. Conceptually In common lis…
