Number Type Speed

Root / Submissions / [.]

DFrostCreated:
I wondered how fast the seven different number representations were so I pieced this together: 
VAR M%,CONSTANT%,INT%,REAL%,LITERAL%,BIN%,HEX%,SCI%,TESTINT% = 1,TESTREAL# = 1
M% = MILLISEC
DEF VOID X END'used to access variables but don't do anything with them
WHILE MILLISEC-M%<1001
 VOID #TRUE
 INC CONSTANT
WEND
M% = MILLISEC
WHILE MILLISEC - M% <1001
 VOID TESTINT%
 INC INT%
WEND
M% = MILLISEC
WHILE MILLISEC - M%< 1001
 VOID TESTREAL#
 INC REAL%
WEND
M% = MILLISEC
WHILE MILLISEC-M%<1001
 VOID 1
 INC LITERAL%
WEND
M% = MILLISEC
WHILE MILLISEC-M%<1001
 VOID &B1
 INC BIN%
WEND
M% = MILLISEC
WHILE MILLISEC-M%<1001
 VOID &H1
 INC HEX%
WEND
M% = MILLISEC
WHILE MILLISEC - M%<1001
 VOID 10E-1
 INC SCI%
WEND
PRINT HEX%'like &H1
PRINT BIN%'like &B1
PRINT LITERAL%'like 1
PRINT REAL%'like X#
PRINT INT%'like X%
PRINT CONSTANT%'like #TRUE
PRINT SCI%'like 10E-1
my result was binary having the highest score.

well, that graph shows their values compared to the max I don't know why these results are on my DS. I'm not doubting you.

I've written essentially the same code looped 100 times in a routine whereupon ending it calculated the arithmetic mean of each counter. I ran this while I ate breakfast, here are my results: Integer - 176445 Floating-point - 177165 String - 171828 Binary - 180373 Hexadecimal - 180545 Standard Index - 174469 Constant (#TRUE) - 180630 Literal Integer - 180438 Literal String - 176340 I suppose I neglected a literal floating-point test case. There seems to be some variation between each type, exactly what it means or if it means anything at all is up for speculation I guess.

according to these results:
  • binary literal, hex literal, constant, and integer literal have negligible difference here (because they're the same)
  • String variables have some overhead more than other variable types
  • Literal strings are a little faster than string variables (when passing to a function) but slower than other literals (they're stored as a length followed by the sequence, i.e. have to be interpreted more than just the push instruction)
  • I assume "Standard Index" means indexing into an array A%[i]. Array access has an obvious overhead. Correction: real numbers are slower than integers, obviously. Scientific notation compiles to real type always(?).
  • integer and floating point variable access times are probably the same

I'm sorry, standard index means standard form or scientific notation, e.g., 1E7.

I've heard that the speed difference between ints and floats is bigger on the o3DS. EDIT: yes scientific notation is always real type. (Can be tested using TYPEOF)
