Benchmark

[texrg]

Is any benchmark for this language?
Is possible to create benchmark in integer?

Regarding your first question, it doesn't have one. And what do you mean by benchmarking in integer? I would say it is fast as C because of its compiler (not because it is just a JIT compiler), but I will call @luizperes who has a better compiler background to assure or correct what I said.

Hi @texrg, thanks for the question. As @rafaelcn has mentioned, we do not have any benchmarks for Brain and I do not think that we should create one now, once we have not implemented all optimizations for the compiler. That would be good, though, considering comparisons on papers later on. Feel free to create one if you're interested. Other than that, as we're using LLVM, I guess that @rafaelcn is about right, that would take approximately as much as the Clang does (however we must consider multiple instructions for big numbers, so that might impact on the whole thing. Thanks!

I'm thinking about simple testing and chech it with all time.
for example loading library, read file etc.
$ time ./brain file_example

Some loops in loops. Mandelbrot or Count prime numbers.
Look this http://www.timestretch.com/article/mandelbrot_fractal_benchmark
Maybe some smallest for first benchmark but this is idea.

That's great! I received your email, but I'm very busy this weekend because I'm at work and will answer your when I get home!

Any news @texrg?
