3.4- Linux Benchmarks

The following results are from complex benchmarks, not include in the library because they use non free software. (If you are interested in them, contact fjtapia@gmail.com)

There are 3 types of benchmarks,

  • 64 bits integers
  • strings
  • objects of several sizes.

The objects are arrays of integers. The heavy comparison sums all the elements in each, and the light comparison uses only the first number in the array.

These were run on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz, with 6 cores and 2 threads by core, and 15M of cache. The compiler used was a GCC 6.3 64 bits

OBJECTS RANDOMLY FILLED

The objects are arrays of 64 bits numbers

They are compared in two ways :

(H) Heavy : The comparison is the sum of all the numbers of the array.

(L) Light : The comparison is using only the first element of the array, as a key
