How fast does your Ruby run?

I got 53648 iterations per second running the following program,
on an Intel 3.2 GHz HT, Win XP machine:

···

--------

C:\> ruby calculate.rb
55

Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on i386-mswin32
It took 18.64 seconds to run. 53648 iterations per second.

--------

n = 1_000_000

start_time = Time.now

for i in 1..n
  t = (1..10).inject {|x, y| x + y }
end

finish_time = Time.now

p t

puts
print "Ruby ", RUBY_VERSION, " patch ", RUBY_PATCHLEVEL, " on ",
RUBY_PLATFORM

puts
print "It took #{finish_time - start_time} seconds to run."
print " #{(n / (finish_time - start_time)).to_i} iterations per
second.\n"

I just ate your lunch. MacPro 3ghz dual duo 2gb ram.

Ruby 1.8.2 on universal-darwin8.0
It took 6.383342 seconds to run. 156657 iterations per second.

(I had to take out RUBY_PATCHLEVEL, as that's not defined, but I suspect
I could have put a begin/rescue/end in around and STILL have eaten your
lunch. LOLOLOLOL

As you are seeing, ruby 1.8.x is painfully slow on Windows. =(

Here's something interesting. The processor is Intel T7200 @ 2.00GHz, Linux Ubuntu.

1. With ruby 1.8.5. which comes packaged with Ubuntu:

    Ruby 1.8.5 on i486-linux
    It took 20.346013 seconds to run. 49149 iterations per
    second.

2. With ruby 1.9.0 (2006-06-08) which comes packaged in Ubuntu:

    Ruby 1.9.0 on i486-linux
    It took 23.875774 seconds to run. 41883 iterations per
    second.

3. With ruby 1.8.6 compiled from sources on the machine:

    Ruby 1.8.6 on i686-linux
    It took 7.107875 seconds to run. 140689 iterations per
    second.

Obviously, the target instruction set matters quite a lot. I think I'll be compiling my own ruby from now on. :slight_smile:

Ok. Since I can't possibly win this DSW, I'll try this on my slowest
machines... :slight_smile:

- AMD Athlon 1.4GHz (quite busy server) :

Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on i386-freebsd6
It took 42.070099 seconds to run. 23769 iterations per second.

Aaand...

- PIII 500MHz (diskless workstation with very limited RAM - especially
   raised from the dead just for you, people !) :

Ruby 1.8.4 patch ? on i386-freebsd6
It took 202.375195 seconds to run. 4941 iterations per second.

(Wooot !)

BTW, on the other direction :

- AMD Opteron 244 1.8GHz :

Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on amd64-freebsd6
It took 12.838229 seconds to run. 77892 iterations per second.
