[DUG] delphi is fast-very fast

[Leigh Wanstead]

myOffice Email MessageFrankly speaking, I am not impressed. ;-) If you use
NVIDIA cuda platform to run against gtx 280 graphics card, the performance
improvement might be increased 10x to 100 x faster. I have not done that
code writing for this test. But if someone on this dug list willing to pay
me to write a c in cuda code, I am willing to try. ;-)

I will say Delphi got advantage is just simply because Delphi using plain
memory mode, and most other C#, java adds some extra work load. To run
against cuda code, Delphi losing on memory access latency compare to gpu
vast memory bandwidth in the card. The more data volume size will show cuda
will be better than any cpu memory latency restricted code.

Have a nice day

  HI all,
  Not yet Friday, but here's an interesting post re the relative speeds of
Delphi to other languages such as C#, C++, Java, and PHP.

  Here's a taste...

  Delphi is fast, very fast

  Jesper Hald and others recently did a benchmark of a certain algorithm to
figure out, which was fastest. It evolved into a kind of competition to make
the fastest algorithm to solve this problem:Fill a data structure with
1,000,000 random, unsorted values from 0-100 Run through this data structure
200 times, counting a) number of values = 42 b) average for all
1,000,000*200 valuesThe benchmark was run on a new T5800 Toshiba laptop
running 32-bit Windows Vista. Nothing had been done to the Vista to make it
faster or behave in a special way.The results were interesting, and our
conclusions were:
