Performance comparison of Go, C++ and Java for biological sequencing tool [pdf]
- eesmith 8y agoI can't judge the science behind what's going on. I'm surprised to see the run-time performance (gc aside) between the three languages as being so similar. I expected faster from C++, though that might just be because my experience with C++ vs. Java is out of date. I would like to have seen mention of profiling to show where the hotspot(s) are, if there are such, in the different implementations. Nevertheless, the substitution of different allocation methods (Table 1 shows 17 minutes run-time for the default C++ allocator and 10.4 minutes for jemalloc) shows that memory allocation is an important issue. I do have a peeve to raise: > Go needs on average 7 mins 56.152 secs with a standard deviation of 8.571 secs ... A standard deviation of 8.6 seconds means the precision of "7 mins 56.152 secs" is meaningless.
