Yes there were some way back then.
Many more have been contributed since then.

How do you propose to measure that exactly?
Or will we like Goldilocks know it when we see it?

- scottlamb 5y agoOh, it just clicked for me that you are the Game' maintainer. > How do you propose to measure that exactly? I don't have a proposal, other than to avoid overselling. I like that the Game's website has the text "If the fastest programs are manually vectorized SIMD, does the host language matter? You might be more interested in less optimised programs." The "Energy Efficiency across Programming Languages" paper though is overselling its rigor.
- igouy 5y agoYeah, sorry about that, peoples comments usually seem more open before they realize. It's difficult to find a balance that works — otoh for some hints give a context, otoh for others hints give stones to throw ;-)
