A large part of my job is meeting programmers around the world and talking to them about what they do. But you can draw the same conclusion by browsing GitHub.

- igouy 14y agoThank you for understanding that it's ordinary to be asked for clarification about something we've said. 1) I think the way in which the benchmarks game programs are most unlike a lot of other programs is that these are tiny tiny toy programs. "Toy programs" as-in -- http://books.google.com/books?id=gQ-fSqbLfFoC&lpg=PP1&dq=Computer%20Architecture&pg=PA37#v=onepage&q=toy%20benchmark&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=gQ-fSqbLfFoC&lpg=PP1... And that's intentional. 2) Why do you say "...I/O. The shootout programs do none."? regex-dna, k-nucleotide, and reverse-complement do read data in FASTA format before processing. (fasta and reverse-complement also write data in FASTA format -- but redirected to /dev/null) Not TBs of I/O but not none.
