Benchmarks for various Scheme implementations. Taken with kind permission from the Larceny project, based on the Gabriel and Gambit benchmarks.
See the results here
Just run
./bench <scheme> <test>
Schemes that should work:
- Bigloo (
bigloo) - Bones (
bones) - Chez (
chez) - Chibi (
chibi) - Chicken (
chicken) - Foment (
foment) - GambitC (
gambitc) - Gauche (
gauche) - Guile (
guile) - IronScheme (
ironscheme) - Kawa (
kawa) - Larceny (
larceny) - MIT/GNU Scheme (
mit) - Mosh (
mosh) - Petite Chez (
chez) - Picrin (
picrin) - Racket (
racket) - Rhizome/Pi (
rhizome) - RScheme (
rscheme) - Sagittarius (
sagittarius) - Scheme48 (
scheme48) - Scheme 9 from Empty Space (
s9fes) - Vicare (
vicare) - Ypsilon (
ypsilon)
This should result in a file ./results.<scheme>.
All of these Schemes are packaged for ArchLinux. The tests are run with whatever that package produces.
Run
make csv
to produce a file all.csv with the test results (<scheme>,<test>,<seconds>).
The environment variable CPU_TIME can be set, to limit the time for compilation and for running (each individually).
CPU_TIME=3600 ./bench chez all
You can set an environment variable to specify the path to each Scheme.
LARCENY=/tmp/larceny/larceny MIT=/tmp/mit/mit-scheme ./bench "mit larceny" "fib ack"
The chicken test code assumes the presence of
- vector-lib
- r7rs
Install them by running
chicken-install vector-lib r7rs
The racket test code assumes the presence of https://github.com/lexi-lambda/racket-r7rs.git.
Install the r7rs package installation-wide.
Run as root:
raco pkg install -i r7rs r7rs-lib
Precompile system libraries (optional). It is still going to be slow.
echo "(compile-system-libraries)" | mono IronScheme.Console-v4.exe
The default binary for IronScheme (can be changed by exporting IRONSCHEME in your shell before running bench) is called ironscheme.
If you unpack IronScheme in your home, you can create a shell script like the following:
#!/bin/bash mono ~/IronScheme/IronScheme.Console-v4.exe -nologo -emacs $*
and put that somewhere in your $PATH.
Before calling Stalin, the code is run through alexpander (by default using Chicken’s csi). Then stalin is invoked on the result.
Missing a lot of necessary functions, read for example.
Problems with redirecting input, read chokes. No timing functions.
